Thorvaldur Jochumsson, Doctoral student, Industrial Doctoral Student
Thorvaldur Jochumsson is a seasoned software developer and architect with over 20 years of experience across industries such as transportation, hydrogen technology, and aeronautics. He specializes in designing high-performance, safety-critical software systems with a focus on enhancing software quality, performance, and reliability.
Currently, Thorvaldur leads software development efforts at ALSTOM and H2solo. At ALSTOM, he focuses on improving software quality and project outcomes through improved development practices. At H2solo, he is responsible for creating scalable architectural solutions for hydrogen production, storage, and distribution systems, ensuring compliance with functional safety standards.
Thorvaldur holds a Master of Science in Computer Science and a Bachelor's degree in Systems Engineering, both from the University of Skövde.
Thorvaldur Jochumsson's PhD research explores the integration of functional safety and ontology within the context of hydrogen production, storage, and distribution systems. His work aims to create a comprehensive safety framework that addresses the specific risks and hazards associated with hydrogen technologies. By leveraging ontologies, Thorvaldur seeks to formalize safety knowledge and enhance the consistency, traceability, and automation of hazard analysis, risk assessment, and safety management processes. This research contributes to improving the safety and reliability of hydrogen systems, which are vital to the development of sustainable energy infrastructures.
