David Vega Maza

David Vega-Maza is Full Professor at the University of Valladolid (UVa), Spain. He has more than 11 years of research and teaching experience in the USA and the UK. He obtained his PhD in Engineering Fluid Thermodynamics in 2009. He has developed his career at NIST (USA), Imperial College London (UK) and the University of Aberdeen (UK). Before joining UVa in 2020, he was Senior Lecturer in Energy Engineering at the University of Aberdeen, as well as head of the multidisciplinary research group on Carbon Capture, Utilisation and Storage (CCUS), member of the board of Scottish Carbon Capture and Storage (SCCS), and coordinator of the first and only Masters programme in the world on decommissioning of oil platforms and offshore structures.

He has led 26 R&D projects funded by both public and private sources, obtaining a total of 1.5 million euros in competitive grants (35% industrial funding, 65% public funding). David has supervised 7 theses and is currently supervising 2 more. His teaching responsibilities include Thermodynamics, Thermodynamic Properties of Gases and Liquids and Thermodynamic Analysis of Energy Systems.

His research career specialises in very low uncertainty property measurements, and advanced interpretation and prediction tools needed for model development, traceable measurements and validation of new techniques. His expertise covers experimental thermodynamics (including calorimetry and phase behaviour), metrology (acoustic techniques for gas properties and new standards in temperature and hygrometry based on microwaves) and surface chemistry. He applies his expertise in thermophysical properties and phase behaviour of fluids to diverse areas such as CCUS; bioenergy/biofuels; hydrogen production, transport and storage; as well as dynamic analysis of the Energy Rate of Return (EROI).
