Sustainability assessment
My team focuses on sustainability assessment methods including life cycle assessment models for product design, development and deployment stages and ESG frameworks, integrating advanced data analytics to evaluate environmental impacts and biodiversity considerations. We develop practical, data-driven approaches for resource efficiency, circular economy strategies, and environmental footprints, providing industries and policymakers with actionable insights for sustainable management and enhanced environmental outcomes.
-
Functional Biomass Research
My team investigates biomass valorisation for alternative protein sources, and bio-based materials. We utilise advanced data analytics to develop biomass process models for diverse feedstocks and perform detailed environmental footprint assessments. Our bioenergy research emphasizes understanding the relationship between feedstock composition, bioenergy efficiency, ash quality, and environmental impacts, supporting sustainable and efficient biomass use in bioeconomy advancements.
