Introduction
I am a PhD student at the CIRAIG in Montréal, Canada. I am quite passionate in the development of LCIA methods and LCA in general. Currently, I am working on aquatic ecosystem services and LCA with a special focus on the integration of impacts at different spatial scales to allow local stakeholders to consider life cycle thinking into their decision making.
My previous experience involves marine plastic litter and LCA as a part of the MarILCA working group.

Ongoing efforts focus on quantifying plastic pollution and describing and estimating the related magnitude of exposure and impacts on human and environmental health. Data gathered during such work usually follows a receptor perspective. However, Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) represents an emitter perspective. This study examines existing data gatheri...
Plastic litter of all sizes has been acknowledged as a serious threat to biodiversity, especially in the marine environment. The fact that life cycle assessment (LCA) does not properly consider these issues is a serious problem for the aspirations of LCA in the public sphere. This paper focuses on micro‐ and nano‐sized plastics (MNPs), which have t...
Here is a poster I worked on for my final scientific communication course.
