Background

I am an experienced researcher in the area of industrial ecology with more than 10 years of experience focused on sustainability assessment of different production systems.

My main area of expertise embraces life cycle assessment and costing of a wide range of production/service systems including agricultural production, biofuels, waste management and most importantly transportation. Having experience in industrial ecology, I am an expert in LCI data collection and analysis of environmental impacts associated with complicated industrial systems and technologies including emerging technologies.

I am also active in teaching, and supervising MSc and PhD students. As a part of my commitment to the research community, I collaborate with different high-quality journals as an editor or reviewer.

Research Interests

My research interests are generally motivated by sustainability issues. More specifically:

• Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) and costing (LCC),

• Sustainability assessment of Biorefineries,

• Environmental, resource and waste management,

• Sustainability assessment of electrified road vehicles,

• Low carbon transport strategies and raw material requirements/opportunities,

• Combining different assessment methods with LCA,

• Climate change mitigation strategies.
