🧭 Introduction

I am a researcher with a background in textile and industrial engineering, focusing on the intersection of sustainability, production systems, and circular economy strategies. My research explores how industries — particularly textile, apparel, and emerging technology sectors — can transition toward regenerative and resource-efficient models through innovation, stakeholder collaboration, and system thinking.

🧠 Research Interests

• Circular economy and regenerative business strategies

• Sustainable production systems and industrial transitions

• Responsible and transparent supply chains

• Employee well-being and human factors in sustainable models

• Business model innovation for second-life and reuse applications

• Cross-sector innovation (e.g., textiles, batteries, electronics)

• Integration of technology and systems thinking in sustainability

📝 Current & Recent Work

MSc Thesis – University of Oulu (2021)
Employee Health and Well-being in the Circular Economy Context – A Systematic Literature Review

• Conducted a PRISMA-based literature review to identify how social aspects like employee well-being, occupational safety, and skills development are considered in the context of circular business models.

• Highlighted a gap in current CE literature around integrating human-centered practices.

🔍 Future Research Directions

I aim to explore how circular economy principles can be translated into practical business models and value chain designs, particularly in industries such as:

• Textiles and fashion: post-consumer recycling, clothing libraries, extended producer responsibility

• Energy and electronics: second-life applications for lithium-ion batteries, modular design, reverse logistics

• Cross-sector comparisons: how learning from one industry (e.g., textiles) can inform innovation in another (e.g., batteries)

These research themes align with my goal of contributing to the development of holistic, interdisciplinary frameworks for sustainable industrial systems.

⚙️ Research Methods & Tools

• Systematic Literature Review (PRISMA)

• Qualitative and mixed-methods research

• Interview-based data collection and thematic coding (learning NVivo)

• Data analysis using Excel

• Programming basics in Python, MySQL, and JavaScript
