About me

Prof. T. Minav, (PI, D.Sc. (Tech.)) is part of the IHA-Innovative hydraulics and Automation unit at Tampere University/Finland. She has received a Doctor of Science degree (D.Sc.) from Lappeenranta University of Technology (LUT) in 2011. She is an expert in electro-hydrostatic systems and actuators, cylinder’s sensorless position motion control, simulation, energy balance, and energy recovery systems in non-road mobile machinery. During her academic career, she worked and lead industrial projects funded by Business Finland (former Tekes) and by the Academy of Finland) related to the electrification of off-road machinery and its implements.

Top achievements

So far, I have authored in a total of 110 scientific publications. I am the first author of 39 of these publications comprising 15 peer-reviewed journal articles, 2 book chapters, and 22 conference proceedings ( number of open access publications 8). My H-index is 16 (according to Google scholar) and 10 (according to Scopus). In 2013, I changed the research environment and field from electric engineering to mechanical engineering (fluid power). In 2015, I added a parallel research topic with a focus on thermal study for arctic conditions.
