Wale Odukomaiya joined NREL’s Building Energy Science group in 2018 as a director’s fellow. His research focuses on innovating heat transfer and energy storage in ways that improve building efficiencies and support low-carbon buildings. This research applies fundamental heat transfer and thermodynamics to advanced energy technologies and building components, with an emphasis on thermal and electromechanical energy storage technologies; heating, ventilating, and air conditioning (HVAC); and advanced manufacturing of related components.
Prior to joining NREL, Odukomaiya was a postdoctoral research fellow in the Building Technologies Research and Integration Center at Oak Ridge National Laboratory, where he worked on the development of energy storage and magnetocaloric refrigeration technologies. His research background includes developing advanced energy technologies and building components, energy policy and economics, and thermal and electro-mechanical energy storage.
