RESEARCH AREA

Since the 1^st of October 2013, I am the Professor of Industrial Ecology and Scientific director of the Institute of Environmental Sciences (CML, 130 staff) at Leiden University for 70% of his time. I retain a 30% position as senior researcher at TNO. I’ve set up prominent EU projects in the field of sustainable product design (SusProNet) and sustainable consumption and production (SCORE!) and was core member of the 10 Million Euro Dutch Knowledge Network on Sustainable System Innovations. Moreover, I coordinated a string of major programs of some 15 million Euro with some 20 key European research institutes in the field of resource-efficiency, a.o. constructing the world’s most ambitious and detailed global energy/resource/economic input-output databases and models (EXIOBASE). Together with 6 partner universities we set up an EU Marie Curie Innovative Training Network of 15 PhDs researching the circular economy  (Circ€uit). This work is a pivotal support for the TNO activities in the field of resource-efficiency and a circular economy.

RECENT RESULTS

Despite working until fall 2013 outside academia, I’ve authored 6 books, over 100 refereed papers and 7 special issues on sustainability research (h-value 43 / 12000 citations in Google scholar; h-value 28/5100 citations in Scopus). I’ve been engaged with work of the UN on the Green Economy Initiative, the Resources Panel, the Ten Year Framework of Programs on Sustainable Consumption and Production, and Sustainable Development Goals. Being appointed as member of the European Academy of Sciences (EURASC) in 2018, I  was recognized by the Web of Science Group as a highly cited researcher in November 2019.
