Research Interest

As an industrial engineer, I'm interested in the relationship between technical, economic and ecological aspects of industrial processes and technologies, using methods such as Technoecomic Analysis, Life Cycle Assessment or Material Flow Analysis. My goal is to identify cost efficient development pathways for the introduction of new and more sustainable technologies, also considering the regulatory environment. My special subject areas are energy technologies as well as the supply of raw material, including recycling.

My research focus lies on the analysis and assessment of CO2 utilization (CCU) as future carbon source for the production of chemicals. Thereby, my research encompasses the identification of the technical and economic conditions, under which CO2 Utilization technologies would contribute to climate mitigation and a more resource efficient and circular economy, while also generating economic benefits.
