Objective

A short summary of your research job objective: My research objective passes by the development of framework for sustainable process design under uncertainty conditions, for early-stage design or for retrofit design. This tool will be the incorporation of several methodologies with the objective of covering the three sides of the triangle of sustainability.

Current Status

Validating part of the framework through the glycerol-based biorefinery case-study.

Future 6-months Plan

For the next six months, the plan is to finish this part of the case study related with uncertainty on the enviroenmental assessment and plan to get the most of the 1st secondment.

Secondments

My first secondment will be at Qauntis where I will be in contact with an Webtool application for LCA analysis (1 month). The secondment no 2 is in EPFL for the incorporation of LCA models with process integration.
