After finishing an EngD project on measuring the circularity level of bridge designs between 2017 and 2019, I conducted a PhD project on the transition towards a circular infrastructure from a socio-technical perspective. My current research interests focus on the governance and management aspects of societal challenges, missions, and transitions in the civil engineering domain and wider built environment, with special interests in circularity. In doing so, I aim to bridge the abstract societal challenges with policies, organizational processes, and construction management practices.
