Sophie Isaksson Hallstedt

Full Professor (L2) at Product Development

Full Professor Sophie I. Hallstedt at Chalmers, is coming from Blekinge Institute of Technology (BTH) where she first initiated the research area Sustainable Product Development. The purpose of her research is to increase the product design teams’ capabilities to make strategic choices and contribute to a more proactive company regarding sustainability issues and make business advantages out of that. Several methods and approaches has come out from her research which for example, enhance the ability to measure: i) maturity level of sustainability implementation; ii) sustainability impact of different solutions, and then; iii) quantify and visualize the progress of sustainability implementation. Sophie has also initiated and developed courses and Master's programs at BTH, has had the role of program manager and head of department at BTH.
