Short Bio

I am an  Associate Professor in the Department of Mechanical & Production Engineering at Aarhus University.   I lead the Lifecycle Design & Manufacturing research group.   The group's current research is focused on the following themes

• Sustainability-focused  design & ideation-support tools  in engineering

• Visualization & analytics tools for product lifecycle information

• Data-driven process modeling for sustainable manufacturing

• Integrated circularity & sustainability assessment for engineering products

• Multi-criteria decision-making and technology assessment for supporting sustainable development goals 

• Incorporating sustainability nto undergraduate education through guided discovery instruction
