Lola Sylvie Annie Rousseau
About
I am a postdoctoral fellow in the Industrial Ecology Programme (IndEcol) - Department of Energy and Process Engineering (EPT) at NTNU. I am part of the project FOODTURE, working on life cycle impact assessment and biodiversity with Senior Researcher Martin Dorber and Prof. Francesca Verones.
Background
I completed my PhD in June 2025 and was supervised by Prof. Edgar Hertwich and co-supervised by Prof. Helge Brattebø. In my PhD thesis, I investigated various components of the built environment, their material use, and embodied greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions as well as passenger vehicles and their life cycle GHG emissions.
Before starting the PhD, I worked as a research assistant (July 2020 - July 2021), supervised by Prof. Edgar Hertwich on the construction sector in input-output tables and road infrastructure modelling.
Education:
- Industrial Ecology (MSc) from NTNU (My master's thesis was focusing on environmental impact of railway and was presented in a webinar organized by NTNU Sustainability, Circular Economy research group)
- Engineering (Dipl.Ing.) from Ecole Centrale de Nantes (France)
