I am an industrial ecologist in the School of Environment, Enterprise & Development in the Faculty of Environment.

Following 15-years of consulting in the private sector, I research on raw material sustainability and responsible production. For the next decades, this is about securing and producing primary minerals and materials like copper, steel, graphite and tantalum that are critical for the transition to a low-carbon and digital society. In the future, a more circular economy can develop to meet the needs of people today and for future generations.

Since 1999 I have taught at Waterloo on environmental management, corporate responsibility, climate change, and sustainable development.
