My background is in Environmental and Water Engineering, and the focus of my Ph.D. project is resource recovery for sustainable supply chains. Currently, I mainly work with assessments of sustainable use of resources within the food system, with a special focus on food waste and valorisation of side flows from the food industry. As a tool for assessing the environmental impact, I use the life cycle analysis (LCA) and the software SimaPro.
The aim of my work is to quantify the environmental impact and identify potential benefits with innovative processes where valuable recourses, such as fat and protein fractions, are recycled back to the food system. Two sustainability aspects that are also central to my research are climate impact and biodiversity.
