PROGENY developed proto-opto-electro-mechanical systems based on advanced functional materials for a new generation of bionic devices. My contribution used prospective life cycle assessment to evaluate environmental performance before technology and production choices became fixed.
The assessment connected material and device development with fabrication processes, cleanroom energy demand, production scale, regional electricity systems, and future scenarios. This work established a foundation for my research on engineering-informed prospective assessment of emerging technologies.
