Dr. Jiechen Wu is a Lecturer of Industrial Ecology at the Department of Sustainable Development, Environmental Science and Engineering (SEED). He is Director of Studies at SEED, and he also served as the director for maters’ program Sustainable Technology in 2022-2023 at KTH.

Jiechen holds a PhD degree in Industrial Ecology from KTH Royal Institute of Technology. His research interests cover urban and socio-economic metabolism, waste management, material criticality, and resource use efficiency across various systems and scales, contributing solutions to sustainability challenges and promoting a circular society through the principles of Industrial Ecology.

During Jiechen's doctoral research, he worked on modeling and managing future anthropogenic emissions (nitrogen, phosphorus and carbon) in urban areas from a systems perspective. The primary focus of his research after obtaining his PhD has been on sustainable phosphorus management, nutrient flow management, sustainable development of food systems, and resource management at different scales of industrial, agricultural, city, regional, global and catchment, by employing Material/Substance Flow Analysis, Life Cycle Assessment, Input-Output Analysis, integrated modelling and systematic approaches (selected publications).

Jiechen is involved in many of SEED's courses. He is the course responsible and examiner for Research Methodology and Theory of Science (MJ2673), Technology and Ecosystems (MJ2659), Waste Management (AL2130), Degree Project in Industrial Ecology (AL227X) and Degree Project in Strategies for Sustainable Development (AL250X), and also one of the main teachers in Cleaner Production and Industrial Environmental Technology (AL2143) and Sustainable Development for Problem Solvers: Exploring Sustainable Development (AL101V).
