Board of Representatives

The roles of the board

We are the representatives of the students in ISIE’s governing bodies. Among our work, we:

• Serve as liaisons between students and ISIE.
• Represent the student community in the ISIE council and other governing bodies.
• Compile and publish the students’ newsletters.
• Lead the organization of student activities (workshops, competitions, meetings…) at ISIE related conferences, including the ISIE biannual conference, section meetings, and the Gordon Research Conference and Symposium.
• Maintain a database of resources for students: study programs, funding options, etc.
• Help in finding and obtaining scholarships for ISIE’s students.
• Distribute and help the students exchange information regarding conferences, employment opportunities, and collaborations.
• Maintain this website.

The structure of the board

The Student Chapter Board is normally composed of six student volunteer members elected by the ISIE student members. The term of a board member is two years, and terms in the board are staggered: each year 3 new board members are elected in October-November to replace retiring board members. During the 2016-2017 term, exceptionally, the board is composed by eight members. One of the remaining board members serves as the president of the board for a single year. This ensures continuity in the Student Chapter. If you are a student member of ISIE, you can become a board member! You'll get a notice about the next elections by e-mail.

The 2018-2019 student board members are:

I’m currently a 2^nd year PhD student at Yale’s Center for Industrial Ecology working with Dr. Edgar Hertwich.  My current research involves incorporating the use of capital assets in environmentally extended input-output analyses.   I have a BS and MEng in environmental engineering, but shifted gears towards industrial ecology while working with the MIT Materials Systems Lab (MSL) during a Masters in Technology and Policy.  My research at MSL centered on used electronics MFA along with an assortment of LCA projects.  Later, as a researcher at the MIT Concrete Sustainability Hub I worked on streamlining early-stage LCA for buildings.
