What I work on
CSR, regulation and employees

Circular economy
Business models, supply chains and education for the circular economy, built with universities in India, Thailand and Europe.
Social life cycle assessment
S-LCA and LCA of construction materials such as zinc and copper tailings, and the data choices that shape their results.
AI, sustainability and work
How AI can support environmental management systems, life cycle assessment and circular business models — and how employees experience and handle the changes AI brings to their work.
