Niloufar Salehi

About me

Niloufar Salehi got her B.Sc in Chemical Engineering and M.Sc. in Energy Systems Engineering from theSharif University of Technology, Tehran, Iran. She has working experience as a researcher in Sharif Energy Research Institute focusing on waste management systems modeling.

She is currently a P.h.D student in Production Engineering at KTH Royal Institute of Technology. Her research focuses on developing analysis methods and decision support tools to help manufacturing systems transition from linear to circular. In manufacturing systems, implementing CE is becoming an essential practice to address the challenges of resource scarcity and increased waste and emission generation.
