Maione Carol
PHD CANDIDATE | 36th PHD CYCLE
Carol is a natural scientist, currently pursuing her PhD in Management, Economics and Industrial Engineering. Her work has spaced from biospheric down to molecular understanding and quantification of material flows, as well as their impacts on the environment. In particular, her doctoral research explores plastic circularity via integration of spatial data, material flow analysis, and system dynamics that dominate the plastic industry. She believes that mapping the interconnections between environmental, industrial, and societal systems can help researchers predict the evolution of socio-technical systems and steer them towards more sustainable pathways.
