Jade Müller is a Ph.D. Candidate in Sustainable Energy Systems at the University of Coimbra. She received an MIT-Portugal grant to carry out her doctoral research in Ex-ante Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) of Novel Bio-based Technologies at the Center for Industrial Ecology (CIE, ADAI-LAETA). She holds a master's degree in Energy for Sustainability from the Universidade de Coimbra and a bachelor's degree in Environmental Engineering from the Universidade Federal do Ceará (Fortaleza, Brazil). Previous experiences include a traineeship at Nestlé Research (Lausanne, Switzerland) in ecodesign of food and packaging and internship and consultancy service for the Brazilian Agricultural Research Corporation (Embrapa) in LCA of agriculture. In 2024, she was one of 32 young researchers and entrepreneurs in Portugal selected for an Innovation Workshop at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), in Cambridge, USA, funded by the MIT Portugal Program. She has published 6 (six) journal articles, 2 (two) book chapters, and 9 (nine) conference papers, and she has participated in 5 (five) research projects in Portugal and Brazil. Keywords: Ecodesign; Industrial Ecology; Life cycle assessment; Prospective LCA; Emerging technologies; Bio-based products; Nutrient recovery technologies; Multi-criteria decision analysis (MCDA).
