Brief description of the Centre – Research Group: |
The Land Morphology and Engineering Department of the Technical University of Madrid is operating in the School of Civil Engineering, founded in 1802. The Research Group is hosted by the laboratory of topography and geomatics where Dr. Sergio Alvarez works as an Assistant Professor. The research work done by the research group is published in the following website. Please also visit my public profiles that are regularly extended and updated. |
Project description: |
There is a need for information on total environmental impacts of consumption and production. This can be done through the inclusion of multiple perspectives. A hybrid model based on combination of input-output analysis with life cycle assessment is proposed as the most relevant alternative. It would be important to have knowledge of Multi-Regional Input-Output Analysis and ability to work with OpenLCA without significant supervision. We are currently running our models in MATLAB and it would be useful you to have some level of familiarity with the software. You do not need to be an expert but a basic knowledge in MATLAB would be essential |
