Assoc. Prof. Alan Tkaczyk
Dr. Alan Tkaczyk is an associate professor of engineering sciences and the program manager for the new Nuclear Energetics and Nuclear Safety master's curriculum. His Ph.D. studies at the University of Michigan emphasized fluid dynamics and included FLUENT CFD simulation. In collaboration with the IAEA, his research group has developed and demonstrated a 3-E (energy, economic and environmental) optimization model of the Estonian heat and electricity supply within the MESSAGE programming framework. Dr. Tkaczyk supervises 1 BSc student (R. Tamberg), 3 MSc students (T. Vaasma, E. Zorla, M. Visnapuu) and informally supervises project work of MSc student M. Pelakauskas. 2 students have successfully defended under him (M. Lehtveer, MSc, 2010; K. Veskimäe, BSc, 2008). At UT, Dr. Tkaczyk has not yet supervised PhD students but has been involved internationally (J. Dufek, PhD dissertation committee, KTH Royal Institute of Tech, 2009; D. Tomatis, PhD dissertation reviewer, Politecnico di Torino, 2010; M. Tesinsky, licentiate thesis opponent, KTH Royal Institute of Tech, 2010).

PhD student Aris Auzans
PhD student Cagatay Ipbuker
M.Sc Cagatay Ipbüker is currently a PhD student at the University of Tartu, Physics Department. He is a civil engineer but he completed his masters studies in Applied Measurement Science at the University of Tartu. His masters thesis was about Air Change Rate of Buildings. His PhD thesis topic is Computational fluid dynamics (CFD) modeling and dynamic simulation to study air exchange rate and energy efficiency of buildings. He is currently building a strong background on fluid dynamics, C++, CFD and mathematical modelling and also exploring the possible softwares which will be used during the PhD project.
