Research Interests:

I am primarily interested in the development of sustainability indexes for consumer products and services. More specifically, I am focused on the selection and definition of sustainability criteria and the generation of an index that allows for environmental and social criteria to be quantified throughout the life cycle. I see the development of such a tool as useful for internal decisions as well as for consumers.
