معرفی
Anastasija Komkova is a Lecturer at the Department of Civil, Environmental and Geomatic Engineering at ETH Zürich, where she has also been a PhD student since 2019. Her research focuses on sustainability assessment of alkali-activated materials (AAMs) within circular economy frameworks, emphasizing environmental performance, supply chain optimization for industrial by-products, and life cycle analysis in construction. She holds a Master’s degree in Environmental and Natural Resource Economics from Copenhagen University (2015), with an Erasmus exchange at Vienna University. Prior to her PhD, she worked as a consultant at the Institute of Applied Economics, contributing to EU projects on recycling waste in construction materials. She is currently part of the EU H2020 ETN DuRSAAM, a PhD training network advancing durable and sustainable AAM-based structures.
Education:
- PhD Candidate, Chair of Sustainable Construction, ETH Zürich (2019–present)
- MSc Environmental and Natural Resource Economics, University of Copenhagen (2015)
- Erasmus Exchange, University of Vienna (2014)
Research Interests: Anastasija’s work bridges environmental and economic disciplines, addressing challenges in circular economy implementation within construction. Key areas include:
- Environmental impact assessment of AAMs
- Supply chain network optimization for waste materials
- Microeconomic modeling of recycling incentives
- Life cycle assessment (LCA) methodologies
Publications: Recent work highlights her focus on circular economy applications, including optimizing waste material supply chains, developing AAM-based repair mortars, and analyzing thermal performance of geopolymer concretes. Her studies often employ multi-objective optimization and life cycle assessment to evaluate trade-offs between environmental impact and economic feasibility.
Awards: No specific awards mentioned, though her involvement in EU-funded projects underscores recognition of her research impact.
Grants & Collaborations: Key participation in the EU H2020 ETN DuRSAAM network demonstrates her role in advancing interdisciplinary research on sustainable construction materials. Her prior consultancy work with the Institute of Applied Economics reflects industry-academia collaboration experience.
Labs/Teams: Affiliated with the Chair of Sustainable Construction at ETH Zürich and the ETN DuRSAAM consortium, collaborating with academic and industrial partners across Europe to advance AAM applications.
