About me

I am a world citizen, long-term thinker, lifelong learner, avid reader, and passionate about sustainability science. I started working at Chalmers University of Technology in January 2014, as a PhD student in the department of Industrial and Materials Science. Within it, I am part of a research group called Virtual and Sustainable Production. My role is evaluating the impact that technologies adopted in production systems have on environmental performance of manufacturing companies and their supply chains. I also evaluate the impact of novel production technologies (R&D phase) in contributing to more performing manufacturing operations. My research focuses on the discrete manufacturing sector. I built my industry experience in the following industries: automotive, machinery-equipment production, electronics and their reverse logistics, shipbuilding.
