Research Interests
My research is based on sustainability, low-carbon energy pathways, and circular economy. I have a strong interest in analyzing complex systems. Understanding the dynamic interactions of energy and material systems during a low-carbon energy transition including the effects of lifecycle CO
2 emissions might support comprehensive solutions for climate change mitigation strategies. In my PhD research, I am analysing how to integrate material cycles and lifecycle emissions of low-carbon energy strategies for New Zealand.
