Brian Vad Mathiesen (born 10 October 1978) is a Danish engineer and professor at Aalborg University. He is listed among ISI Highly Cited researchers, making him one of the leading engineers in the world.
Life and research activity
Mathiesen studied environmental management at Aalborg university and obtained a MSc. Eng. in 2003. From 2004 to 2005 he worked as an energy and environmental planner, then returned to university. In 2008 he finished his PhD thesis and was named Assistant Professor at Aalborg University. Besides he served as an guest professor and visiting researcher at University of Zagreb. From 2010 to 2013 he was Associate Professor at Aalborg University and in 2014 he became full professor.
Mathiesen researches 100% renewable energy systems and paths to transition the energy system to 100% renewable sources. He is also doing feasibility studies and technical energy system analyses and works on ways to base energy systems mainly on variable renewable energy sources such as wind power.
