About
The building and construction sector accounts for 40% of energy consumption, CO2 emissions and waste globally today.
With a strong emphasis on digitization and interdisciplinarity, my Postdoc research mainly focuses on sustainability assessments related to the creation of civil structures and infrastructures.
Pivoting on the principles of Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) as well as sustainable thinking in project administration and management, the goal of the research is to accelerate the shift towards a carbon neutral built environment.
