• Module “Life Cycle Assessment and Sustainability” 
  • GaBi Software tutorial (since WS 18/19)
  • Project-based tutorial (since WS 20/21)

• Sustainability assessment in the area of "Mass Personalization"
• • Investigation of the opportunities and risks of the trend for a sustainable development
  • Consideration of individual aspects in LCA as a basis for action-oriented communication of scientific results, e.g. to support decision-making on environmentally relevant issues of individuals.
• Life cycle assessments (LCA) in the field of renewable energy systems and mobility concepts, e.g.
• • Ecologically optimized production of different photovoltaic modules
  • Assessment of fuel cell systems
• Accompanying research on the subject of microbially produced biosurfactants
• • Use of renewable raw materials and alternative substrates, e.g. insect oil
  • Ecological optimization of fermentation and purification processes
  • Use of biosurfactants in various (end)products
