Continuous optimization is never easy: the exact solution is always a luxury demand and the theory of it is not always analytical and elegant.

How can prospective LCA be streamlined in a way that its practical application in research and technology development increases?

Electrocatalysis allows for storing electricity or converting it into chemical bonds, producing chemical building blocks and fuels using renewable resources.

Drug development is a time- and resource-consuming process that starts with the discovery and validation of a (protein) target that contributes to pathogenesis or disease progression.

One of the effects of climate change is the phenomenon of desertification, a process that occurs in semi-arid and arid areas and causes land degradation as well as vegetation loss. Due to the lack of resources, vegetation self-organizes to sustain itself by forming large-scale spatial patterns.

IoT technology poses serval opportunities to supply chains. This thesis employs grey correlation and forecasting models, system dynamics, agent-based modeling, and ex-ante LCA to investigate and quantify the opportunities and risks of IoT-enabled sustainable supply chain operations from both industrial…

Traditional drug discovery approaches have been hampered by (in vitro) cell-culture models that poorly represent the situation in the human body.

Celebrating 20 years of environmental research in Cagayan Valley and Sierra Madre

The way organisms develop from the initial single-cellular state to a complex final assembly like the human body, and how the final body is maintained throughout life, is one of the greatest mysteries and it’s understanding one of the biggest scientific challenges.

Landen die plastic afval importeren, recyclen daarvan gemiddeld minstens 63 procent. Terwijl we dachten dat het overgrote deel werd verbrand of eindigde als zwerfvuil. Dat ontdekte promovendus Kai Li met collega’s van het Centrum voor Milieuwetenschappen Leiden.
