Om
I am a PhD Candidate at the Industrial Ecology Programme, supervised by Francesca Verones and co-supervised by Daniel Beat Müller and Hans Bihs.
A life without plastic-based products is for most humans unthinkable, with their importance having increased rapidly since the 1950s. Unfortunately, plastics are often disposed of inadequately, leading to an accumulation of it in the natural environment. In 2015, 60-99 million tons of plastic were mismanaged, a substantial part of which ended up in the oceans.
My research is focused on developing models to map the Norwegian plastic cycle across its whole life cycle (from production, to use, to collection, to end-of-life treatment (e.g., recycling), and to leakage to the environment (e.g., ocean)). I am also developing impact assessment models that are specific to the Norwegian ecosystem as well as scenarios for a more sustainable Norwegian plastic economy.
My PhD is part of MAPLE – Marine Plastic Pollution: Environmental Impact and life cycle scenarios, which is one of NTNU's interdisciplinary sustainability projects.
I have a Bsc in Civil Engineering from the University of Bahrain and an Msc in Environmental Engineering from the Technical University of Munich (TUM) in Germany.
