Hi! My name is Alina, I am Ukrainian-portuguese, I am currently based in Lisbon and staying in Vienna for 1 year starting 17 March as part of my PhD program in Environmental Engineering. My Bachelors and Masters were completed in Instituto Superior Técnico, in Lisbon.
In my PhD I focus on comparative environmental impacts of food products and diets. My specialty is Life Cycle Assessment and during my stay in BOKU I will be working with BioBaM, a biomass balance model that enables to explore different food production and consumption scenarios and their impacts, both global and localized.
I love art, cuisine, nature, hikes, learning new languages and making new friends. Feel free to reach out to co-work or hang out!

 I am Agathe, originally from France. My PhD is a co-tutelle between AgroParisTech (Paris) and BOKU University, within the Horizon Europe Marie Skłodowska-Curie DESTINY doctoral network.
My PhD in Agronomy examines the sustainability of agricultural biomass production in the context of bioeconomy development in two contrasting EU regions: one in France, one in Austria. I'll be based at BOKU from 1st April 2026 for one year, during which I will conduct the Austrian case study in the Eisenwurzen region. 
As background, I hold an International Master's in Rural Development from Ghent University (Belgium) and an Agricultural Engineering degree from L'Institut Agro (France), and gained hands-on experience working in a development project on tea value chain structuration in Lao PDR.
