Yulia Arinicheva Skåtun

Field of work

I am an associate professor at the Department of Mechanical and Marine Engineering, Western Norway University of Applied Sciences (HVL), Campus Bergen. Here I teach courses in hydrogen technology, electrochemistry for batteries, fuel cells and electrolysers, thermodynamics, applied fluid dynamics.

My experience combines chemistry and materials science with focus on environmentally friendly energy applications. I recieved my doctorate from Institute of Fusion Energy and Nuclear Waste Management (IFN-2), Forschungszentrum Jülich GmbH, and RWTH Aachen University in Germany on ceramic matrices for immobilization of high-level radioactive wastes. Afterwards I worked as a materials researcher within solid-state batteries at the  Institute of Energy Materials and Devices, Materials Synthesis and Processing (IMD-2), Forschungszentrum Jülich GmbH. Within my doctoral and postdoctoral projects, I had a number of research stays at host institutions, including UC Davis, ESRF, ICSM Marcoule, JRC-ITU, HZDR, UiB.

I am the regional coordinator for the EU Erasmus+ project H2CoVE, focused on building hydrogen competency. My research is closely linked to FME HyValue, a research center specializing in hydrogen and hydrogen-based energy carriers.
