Research Focus

My research focuses on the area of Sustainable Development from a Systems perspective. I tackle the climate problem following a holistic view guided by the triple-bottom-line of sustainability and Economy-Environment-People. I look at how we (faculty-students-practitioners) can use methods and technics learned in System-Thinking and Lean Systems to address problems encountered in the climate crisis. I believe that if we clearly define how we measure the value chain in all aspects of sustainability and focus on finding new and entrepreneurial solutions, the intersection where a product or a process becomes sustainable can be achieved. I also do research in education, focusing on finding new ways the new student generations can get inspired to become active global citizens with a focus on sustainable development.
