About

Francisco has a Civil Engineering background specialized in Resources Management. He received his Master’s degree in Project Management for Environmental and Energy Engineering from IMT Atlantique, and has 6+ years of professional experience in the construction and engineering sector. Recently, he graduated from his PhD in Sustainability Management from the University of Waterloo, Canada. His main research is focused on understanding the basics defining the relation society-environment for the global advance towards sustainable development. He utilizes systems thinking, innovative, technic and methodologic abilities, and also interdisciplinary methods, concepts, and tools applied to sustainability management. Currently, his research analyzes the built environment, circular economy potentials, material flows & stocks, the water-energy-food nexus, climate change impacts, resilience, and more to help in the transition towards a sustainable, resilient, and resource-secure system, with a special interest in resource-stressed settings like small island states.

Francisco has a background in Civil Engineering specialized in Resources Management. He received his Master’s degree in Project Management for Environmental and Energy Engineering from IMT Atlantique, and has more than six years of professional experience in the construction and engineering sector. Now he has finalized his PhD in Sustainability Management from the University of Waterloo. His research interests are focused on understanding the basics defining the relation society-environment to achieve society's sustainable development, particularly in small island states. He strives to accomplish this through analyzing their resource-use dynamics from a socio-metabolic research perspective.
