A Researcher Driving Sustainability Through Bioeconomy
Víctor González Mallén, a researcher from Madrid, Spain, is researching ecological relevance of waste management in bioeconomy (thesis 3.4) at BOKU in Vienna and the University of Eastern Finland.
Hi! My name is Víctor González Mallén, a bioeconomy nerd from Spain. I hold a double Bachelor’s degree in Environmental Sciences and Geography from UAM (Madrid) and a Master’s degree in Environmental Engineering from KTH (Stockholm). One could say that I am an environmental engineer with a social scientist’s heart.
My research focuses on developing and applying sustainability assessment methodologies to evaluate the ecological role of waste management in the bioeconomy. I primarily focus on organic municipal solid waste, wood demolition waste, and strategies to avoid food waste through redistribution of surplus food.
I am lucky enough to conduct my PhD research at the Institute of Waste Management and Circularity at BOKU University in Vienna and the School of Forest Sciences at UEF in Joensuu.
