Laura Äkräs

👋🏻 Hi there, and welcome to my profile!

👩🏼‍💼 Kindly find below a short sneak peek about me and my research:

🔸I'm presently working as a Postdoctoral Researcher at the Department of Sustainable Development, Environmental Science and Engineering (SEED) at KTH Royal Institute of Technology under the supervision of Professor Anna Björklund. My research is closely intertwined with the interdisciplinary Mistra SafeChem project, which gathers together professionals from a broad range of universities, research institutes, and companies on an important and topical theme — advancing the development of safer and more sustainable chemical industry.

🔸My role in the Mistra SafeChem project is to employ Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) methodology as a prominent tool to examine the environmental impacts, caused by the synthesis and recycling of selected chemical substances, both at their early stage of development and after the scale up. My research is a collective task, being conducted in collaboration with the research groups of Stockholm University and the theme-related companies.

🤝🏻 It was such a pleasure to meet you! See you around!
