About STEN

We are STEN – Sustainable Systems Engineering research group based at Universiteit Gent, led by Prof. Jo Dewulf. STEN aims at designing and evaluating systems in a sustainability context, relying on engineering principles. Products, processes, supply chains, and production and consumption patterns are studied with: 🌳 A focus on resources, i.e. resource footprint and resource efficiency 🔄 A lifecycle thinking approach, e.g. operationalized through MFA and LCA 💡Thermodynamic principles, relying on the second law: exergy and exergetic life cycle analysis https://www.ugent.be/bw/gct/en/research/sten
