WELCOME TO MY OFFICE
My journey is to discover, understand, connect, lead, guide, build, communicate, share and inspire. I have done that as a professor, mentor, researcher, writer, executive, and adviser. I want to contribute to science-based societal transformation, a global low-carbon circular economy, and prosperity through transdisciplinary research, education, and actions with impact. To this end, I work on multiple dimensions of sustainable development, policies, capacity building, and innovation.
