Iryna Takser

Iryna Takser is a Research Fellow at the Chair of Energy Efficient and Sustainable Design and Building at the Technical University of Munich since 2020. She has previously served as a research assistant at the Fraunhofer Institute for Building Physics (2018–2021) and the Munich School of Engineering (2018). Holding a Master's degree in Energy-efficient and Sustainable Building (2017–2020) and a Bachelor's in Environmental Engineering Sciences (2011–2017), her work focuses on life cycle assessment (LCA) and urban mining for sustainable construction.

• Research Fellow, Technical University of Munich (2020–present)
• Research Assistant, Fraunhofer Institute for Building Physics (2018–2021)
• M.Sc. Energy-efficient and Sustainable Building, TUM (2017–2020)
• B.Sc. Environmental Engineering Sciences, RWTH Aachen (2011–2017)

Her research explores life cycle assessment of buildings, urban mining for material reuse, and parametric optimization of construction systems to reduce grey CO₂ emissions and operational energy demand. Recent work connects building density and vegetation to analyze thermal comfort-energy demand trade-offs in German cities, while historical projects include the NAWAREUM climate-friendly building case study in Straubing and raw material mapping for Bavaria.

Key publications (2022–2025) demonstrate expertise in:

• Life cycle-based parametric optimization for climate neutrality
• Carbon sequestration through urban green infrastructure
• Material flow analysis in demolition scenarios
• Synergy between urban density and ecological systems
