Carol is a natural scientist, currently pursuing her doctoral degree in Industrial Engineering at the Polytechnic University of Milan (Milan, Italy). Her work is focused on monitoring material flows and pollution cycles across the plastic industry-environment-society nexus, and investigating the role of technology in the transition to the circular economy of plastics.
I am a marine microbiologist by training but have mainly focussed on how (scientific) information can be better used to guide policy decisions and ultimately marine governance. For me, this includes the participation of as many involved stakeholders as possible to co-create ideas and jointly develop a roadmap for the sustainable use of marine resources.
I have now succesfully worked with a wide range of stakeholders, including the maritime industry, NGOs and both scientific/intergovernmental istitutions.
I work on marine pollution and currently focusing on plastic pollution. This involves:
- Marine litter characterization and quantification
- Monitoring and assessment of marine litter and micro plastics
I am a co-author in four published papers on the subject of marine litter pollution.
