Kamila Krych - NTNU

About

I'm a PhD student at the Industrial Ecology Programme, supervised by Johan Berg Pettersen. My PhD is part of the LASTING project. In my work, I investigate material flows and environmental impacts associated with household consumption of textiles, furniture and appliances, as well as the potential for impact reduction through extended product lifespans.

I also work with the energy-material-emissions nexus of buildings, together with prof. Edgar Hertwich and Niko Heeren.
