Short presentation
Assistant professor in Industrial Engineering and Management. My research concerns issues related to Information and Communication Technology (ICT), sustainability and ethics. I am currently involved in two externally funded interdisciplinary research projects as a researcher and PhD supervisor.
- The digital right to repair.
- Game On? Identifying Environmentally Sustainable Trajectories for Video Games.
Happy to share my insights on ICT and sustainability in any context. Please get in touch.
