Louise Møller Haase is Vice-Dean at the Faculty of Technical Sciences, Aarhus University, with her primary affiliation in the Dean's Office. She is a key academic leader and researcher focusing on circular economy, sustainable design, and engineering education. Her work bridges academic research, policy development, and industrial application. Institution: Aarhus University Faculty: Faculty of Technical Sciences Department: Dean's Office Role: Vice-Dean and active researcher Her research interests center on enabling systemic transitions toward sustainability. Key areas include circular economy, product longevity, sustainable public procurement, and digital tools such as the Digital Product Passport. She emphasizes relational and systemic approaches to sustainability, advocating for stakeholder engagement and value preservation in sufficiency-based models. The recent publications reflect a strong trend in applying design thinking and systems theory to sustainability challenges. Her work spans industrial case studies, policy recommendations, and educational innovation, particularly in engineering contexts. She develops practical tools like the LaST Tool and guides for circular procurement, demonstrating an applied, transdisciplinary approach. Louise Haase has not received any explicitly mentioned scientific awards in the provided text. She leads and participates in multiple research projects, including PROLONG, CircularTex, and Design2.Use, often securing competitive grants. These projects involve collaboration with industry, public institutions, and interdisciplinary teams. While no formal students are listed, her collaborative publications suggest mentorship and team leadership. Her work in engineering education reform highlights her influence beyond research into academic strategy and institutional development. She is involved in several research labs and teams focused on sustainable design and circular transitions, including those developing tools for design rationale, longevity assessment, and digital disruption. These teams operate at the intersection of design, engineering, and policy, supporting both academic and practical implementation of circular economy principles.
