About me
As a researcher with a strong background in civil and environmental engineering, I am dedicated to advancing interdisciplinary research at the intersection of science, engineering, and the environment. During my PhD, I explored vegetation-atmosphere interactions using landscape-scale measurements and process-based modeling. By applying first principles, I enhanced the realism of vegetation parameterization in climate models to improve predictions of energy and water fluxes between the Earth's surface and the atmosphere.
Currently, as a Research and Technology Associate in the SUSTAIN unit at the Luxembourg Institute of Science and Technology (LIST), I focus on assessing the sustainability of the bioeconomy through life cycle assessments. My work involves developing a robust framework that integrates global and contextual indicators to assess synergies and trade-offs across environmental, economic, and social boundaries. This framework, along with its practical tools, aims to support decision-makers and stakeholders in navigating sustainability challenges effectively.
