Primary research areas

Di­git­al Sustain­ability
Di­git­al sustain­ability ex­plores how di­git­al tech­no­lo­gies can be de­signed and used to cre­ate pos­it­ive en­vir­on­ment­al, so­cial, and eco­nom­ic im­pact. It ex­am­ines the role of di­git­al solu­tions in help­ing or­gan­iz­a­tions and so­ci­et­ies re­duce re­source use, lower emis­sions, and build more re­si­li­ent and re­gen­er­at­ive prac­tices.
Green Trans­formation in the Agri-Food In­dustry
Green trans­formation in the agri-food in­dustry is a sys­tem­ic shift in how food is pro­duced, pro­cessed, and dis­trib­uted to re­duce en­vir­on­ment­al harm. Bey­ond ef­fi­ciency, it re­shapes sup­ply chains, busi­ness mod­els, and prac­tices, link­ing in­nov­a­tions with policies to move from ex­tract­ive meth­ods to­ward re­gen­er­at­ive fu­tures for people and plan­et

From Ex­tract­ive to Re­gen­er­at­ive - Spark­ing Green Trans­form­a­tions with Di­git­al Tech­no­lo­gies

My research investigates how digital technologies can drive the green transformation of industries, shifting from extractive practices that harm our planet to regenerative outcomes that restore it. I focus on how digital innovation enable organizations and industries to collaborate toward systemic sustainability. 

I work closely with the agri-food industry, one of the world’s largest contributors to greenhouse gas emissions, to explore how digital tools can spark sustainable change acros value chains. My studies reveal how niche innovations can scale into industry-wide transformations when supported by digital resources and new forms of collaboration. 

Beyond research, I care deeply about industry engagement and real-life change. My work equips industries with strategies that balance growth and responsibility, helping them with practices that sustain planetary health. I believe that by reimagining industries through digital sustainability, we can step out of the woods of extractive systems and into regenerative futures.

Ag­ri­Circle – Up­cyc­ling Food Waste Streams into High Value Re­use

Ag­ri­Circle ex­plores how di­git­al tech can link nu­tri­ent-rich byproduct pro­du­cers with in­nov­at­ors, en­abling sus­tain­able up­cyc­ling in the agri-food sec­tor into food, bi­otech, or ma­ter­i­als.
