Andreas Brekke is working on projects connected to environmental evaluations of packaging and energy. He would like environmental and commercial interests to communicate and cooperate more with one another.
He has an Msc in chemical engineering from the Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU). His studies included student exchange periods at the University of Dar es Salaam in Tanzania and the Institute of Chemical Technology in Prague. In addition to studying chemistry, he also studied various more obscure subjects such as astrophysics and Swahili. After a couple of years as a research assistant at the LCA laboratory at NTNU, Andreas started a doctorate on the relationship between economics and the environment at the Norwegian School of Management (BI).
Before he started at Ostfold Research, Andreas spent his time in academia, first as part of his civilian national service, as a research assistant at NTNU, and later working on his PhD at BI.
In his spare time Andreas likes to play with his two children. He also enjoys sport and reading books.
