Ana Lázaro Fernández, Chemical Engineer from the University of Zaragoza (2004), is Associate professor at the Thermal Engineering Division of the Mechanical Engineering Department at the University of Zaragoza, Spain. She has taught courses in Thermodynamics, Thermal Engineering, Heat Transfer, Energy Optimization and HVAC.
In 2009 she obtained the PhD degree at the same University with European Mention. She is member a member of the Research Group on Thermal Engineering and Energy Systems, GITSE (http://i3a.unizar.es/es/content/gitse). This group is recognized as a reference research group by the Government of Aragon and is part of the Engineering Research Institute of Aragón (http://i3a.unizar.es). Since 1st January 2023 she is co-leading the GITSE research group.
Her research starts focused on the field of thermal energy storage using Phase change materials (PCM), heat exchangers, PCM slurries and thermophysical properties determination. Energy efficiency in buildings was the main application for this research. She has participated or lead 18 public contracts (3 of them were European, e.g. COST ACTION TU0802) and 15 private contracts with industry. She is member of the User Selection Panel of the project SFERA-III (H2020-INFRAIA-2018-1, 823802).
Her current research is focused on energy integration, more specifically on the integration of in thermal energy storage system in heating and cooling energy systems. She leaded three public funded projects on this topic: PID2020-115500RB-I00, ENE2014-57262-R, ENE2017-87711-R, she participated in the EERA JP Smart Cities executive committee and in the Task 55 of the International Energy Agency.
Her research activities are also devoted to collaborating with different research stake holders and institutions to promote an effective technological development. She participated in several working groups in the framework of International Energy Agency (ECES annexes 17, 20 and joint ECES-SHC 42 and 58). She coordinated one subtask of the task 58 and she is currently leading the subtask in task 67. She coordinated also the crosscutting working group on thermal energy storage of the technological platform FUTURED. She is member of the HVAC&R technical association (ATECYR).
She was co-advisor of two PhD Thesis. She carried out short research-stays at ZAE Bayern (Germany, 3 months, 2005), University of Birmingham (UK, 1 week, 2017), The Aeronautical Technological Institute (Brazil, 2 weeks, 2019). She is author of more than 40 JCR papers with more than 2900 cites and her Scopus h-index is 20 (January 2023).
