The structure of the board
The Student Chapter Board is normally composed of eight to ten 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. Two continuing members of the Student Chapter Board take on the responsibilities of President and Vice-President respectively. 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 2021-2022 student board members are:

Hi! I am Kavya Madhu, PhD candidate at the University of Freiburg and working in the Industrial Ecology Group. My PhD research revolves around analyzing the impact of different pillars of Circular Economy on the environmental footprint of products and I use Life Cycle Assessment as a tool to do my analysis. As a member of the student board, I am involved in in the activities of the sub-groups- Virtual networking and SIEYP committee. If you have any ideas/suggestions/critics that you would like to share regarding the sub-groups, please feel free to reach out to me!



I am a PhD candidate at Yale University’s Center for Industrial Ecology. My research examines the strategic, economic, and environmental benefits of industrial symbiosis, along with factors that influence its development. Previously, I have worked with organizations including the World Bank, U.S. Chamber of Commerce Foundation, and REI to help businesses implement more sustainable practices. As a member of the board, I hope to make ISIE a valuable part of your student experience through organizing events and supporting you connect with other members and resources!

Hola! I am Elisa, a second-year PhD student at the Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU) in Trondheim. My research focuses on the prospective evaluation of technologies for metal production, mainly using Life Cycle Assessment. At a higher level, I am interested in the study of the complex relationship between the environment, society, economy, and technological development. As a member of the board, I am part of the Diversity & Inclusion Committee and also support the organization of other events. Please get in touch if you have any questions or suggestions! 😊
