Doctoral Dissertations

Within Hy-Tunnel project the doctoral dissertation “Hydrogen safety in confined spaces” by Agnieszka Weronika Lach has been completed. The dissertation was carried out in the USN University and was delivered in 28/03/2022. The thesis consists of 226 pages where 107 pages are the published articles on which the thesis is based. The thesis will be available in digital form in ‘’OpenArchive.usn’’ (https://openarchive.usn.no/usn-xmlui/handle/11250/2427279) after the public defence occurs (planned for the 02.09.2022).
