Matilda Nordman

Matilda Nordman is a Researcher at the Department of Environmental and Resource Engineering, Technical University of Denmark (DTU), specializing in Quantitative Sustainability Assessment. Her work integrates environmental sustainability with nutritional health, contributing to UN Sustainable Development Goals through research on sustainable diets and climate-friendly food strategies in public settings.

Her academic background includes:

• MSc in Human Nutrition, University of Copenhagen (2016-2018)
• BSc in Nutrition, Stockholm University (2013-2016)

Nordman's research employs life cycle assessment and mathematical optimization to develop climate-friendly dietary patterns while ensuring nutritional adequacy. Key focus areas include municipal food procurement systems, low-carbon diet optimization for diverse populations, and evaluation of public food service strategies. Her methodology bridges environmental science, nutrition, and computational modeling to address real-world sustainability challenges.

Recent publications (2024-2025) demonstrate a cohesive trend in applying quantitative methods to municipal food strategies and dietary optimization, with emphasis on greenhouse gas reduction, nutritional quality preservation, and population heterogeneity. Work spans public meal provision for senior citizens, benchmark development for food procurement, and constrained optimization of dietary patterns.

No major scientific awards are documented in the available information.

She supervises PhD candidate Raupach, R. R. in dietary sustainability research and actively participates in multiple funded projects:

• FOODTURE: Environmental quantification and impact reduction in food systems (2025-2028)
• DROSH: Dairy's role in healthy and sustainable diets (2024-2025)
• SHELF: Sustainable and Healthy Lifestyles (2022-2027)
• Fish EU Trust: Seafood supply chain innovation (2022-2026)

Nordman collaborates within DTU's Quantitative Sustainability Assessment group and with international partners on co-creation initiatives involving food industry stakeholders and public sector entities to develop implementable sustainable food solutions.
