Summary

 

Overview

My main research interest is to identify pathways for sustainability. For this, I combine my main areas of expertise, which are mathematical programming (with particular emphasis on global and multiobjective optimisation) and environmental assessment (e.g. life cycle assessment, LCA), with other tools such as multi-regional input-output (MRIO) models and Data Envelope Analysis (DEA). The aim of my research is to provide guidelines to policy and decision makers.
