His research focuses on Life Cycle Impact Assessment (LCIA), with focus on modelling the toxic assessment of contaminants. He’s currently leading the development of the multimedia fate and exposure model IMPACT 2002. His teaching activities include life cycle assessment, environmental modeling in multimedia environment and environmental management.
Manuele Margni graduated as an environmental engineer at the ETH Zürich in 1996, obtained a Master in environmental management in 1998 and a Ph.D. in May 2003 at the EPFL in collaboration with the LBL at the UC Berkeley (US), where he spend half a year working on multimedia modeling. Before moving to Montreal in October 2005, he represented the EPFL at many international conferences with platform presentations, short courses, as an active member of the UNEP/SETAC Life Cycle Initiative and within the ecoinvent project.
Before entering the academia, in 1999 he created an environmental consulting firm, now called Ecointesys-Life Cycle Systems, where he still retain a key active role.
