Kamila Krych
Background and activities
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 environmental impacts of household consumption of textiles, furniture and appliances, and the potential for impact reduction through extended product lifespans.
Background
I have a MSc degree in Industrial Ecology from NTNU, and a BSc degree in Technical Physics from Lodz University of Technology (Poland). Before the PhD, I worked as a research assistant at the Industrial Ecology Programme, supervised by Edgar Hertwich. My master's thesis focused on the carbon footprint of office buildings in warm climates and its sensitivity to factors such as cooling system parameters.
