André Baumgart

Email Address: andre.baumgart(at)boku.ac.at

In his PhD project, André focuses on current and future resource use ranging from stock-building materials to technology-critical elements. Applying bottom-up material stock and stock-driven material flow accounting, he aims to better understand the connection between material stocks, their associated flows, and the services and disservices they provide.

Bastian Bertsch-Hörmann

Email Address: bastian.bertsch-hoermann(at)boku.ac.at

In his Ph.D. project, Bastian is working on climate change adaptation in agriculture, focusing on a case study region in SW-Spain. Applying qualitative and quantitative methods and data, and using an agent-based modelling approach, he is exploring land users' decision-making in the face of extreme drought and heat events, a manifest water use conflict between agriculture and conservation, as well as potentially changing political and socio-economic framework conditions. His work aims at informing policy and adaptation strategy formulation, as well as developing the transferability of agent based models between study regions.

Benjamin Fleischmann

Email Address: benjamin.fleischmann(at)boku.ac.at

In his Ph.D. project, Benjamin tries to understand the role of power struggles among different social-ecological projects in developing the European bioeconomy policy. Therefore, he is interested in clustering actor constellations and their specific strategies on biomass and land use linked to a broader political-economic context. His primary interest is how these actor constellations shape policies and institutional configurations and how this might influence resource use in the future. In this perspective, he tries to highlight opportunities and barriers of the EU bioeconomy for a far-reaching social-ecological transformation.

Hannah Politor

Email Address: politor(at)studia-austria.com

In her dissertation project, Hannah works on participatory research in Long-Term Socio-Ecological Research Platforms, focusing on the case study region of the LTSER region Eisenwurzen. She aims at exploring the success and inhibiting factors of participation in research processes and at developing recommendations for designing research processes in a way that actors in science and practice remain motivated to participate in the long term. To reach these objectives she will apply social network analysis and stakeholder analysis, conduct expert interviews with relevant stakeholders of the platform and a participatory workshop with regional stakeholders. She works at STUDIA a research institution in the Upper Austrian part of the Eisenwurzen region.

Gamze Ünlü

Email Address: unlu(at)iiasa.ac.at

In her PhD project, Gamze focuses on modeling of material cycles in the MESSAGE integrated assesment model. The production of energy and emission intensive materials in the industry such as iron&steel, cement, aluminum and chemicals are building blocks of the social metabolism but also pose a great challange for climate change.By using the developed modeling tool, she looks into future scenarios to assess the implications of circular economy measures on climate mitigation and energy transition.

Hanspeter Wieland

Email Address: hanspeter.wieland(at)boku.ac.at

Hanspeter's work focuses on the application of input-output analysis in the context of sociometabolic research and environmental-economic accounting. More specifically, he investigates global production-consumption networks of the steel industry as well as the associated environmental pressures and impacts to advance the current state-of-art in global physical input-output modelling.
