Magdalena Svanström
Magdalena Svanström is a Professor of Sustainability Studies in the Environmental Systems Analysis division. Her research focuses on the development and application of methodology for environmental and sustainability assessment for products and processes, mostly life cycle assessment, and often with the purpose of providing guidance in early stages of development. Major fields of application include wastewater and sludge management, wood-based products and batteries. She is also conducting research within the field of education for sustainable development, e.g., on competences and assessment.
