Socio-Economic Metabolism

About

I am currently an assistant professor at SDU Life Cycle Engineering, University of Southern Denmark. I have been working in the field of Material Flow Analysis over the past seven years. My research links socioeconomic metabolism with management science and engineering (my bachelor and master training background) and integrated assessment models. In previous topics, I explore how transport fleet dynamics in sustainable transition scenarios influence metal cycles, energy consumption, and greenhouse gas emissions.

Details

I have PhD degree in Engineering Science, master degree in Industrial Engineering, and bachelor degree in business administration.
