Research Assistant
Since July 2020, Anna Luthin works as a research assistant (PhD) at the Institute for Sustainability in Civil Engineering (INaB) and is a Joint-PhD candidate at RWTH Aachen University and the University of Melbourne (Australia). She studied Georesources Management at the RWTH Aachen University (B.Sc., M.Sc.). During her Master’s program, she specialized in environmental management and spent a semester abroad at the Università degli Studi di Padova in Italy, where she studied the effects of climate change. Furthermore, she gained her first experiences in energy management during an internship at Daimler AG. In her Master’s thesis, she examined the identification of trade-offs between environmental and economic performance by combining Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) and Life Cycle Costing (LCC). Anna’s current research focuses on LCA, LCC, and Social Life Cycle Assessment (S-LCA) in the context of the Circular Economy (CE) and she is an active member of the Center for Circular Economy (CCE) at RWTH Aachen University.
