She is a creative, enthusiastic, skilled and passionate designer, who has experience in the fields of industrial design and education.
Carolina is an energetic team member who views challenges as great opportunities and has a big commitment with the environment and the development of sustainable products and services with the focus on stakeholder’s active participation.
Research focus at BTH
Carolina main research is related to the implementation of sustainability in product portfolio. She already has determine the state of art of the field related to the academia and the industry, which helped to developed a method to guide companies to include strategic sustainability in the early phases of the product portfolio process. This method was developed with the support of colleagues of the SDP team at BTH. the method is called “Strategic layered double flow scenario modeling for sustainability risk and portfolio management” (STARDUST). The STARDUST method has been tested with company partners as part of the DSIP and Profile + projects. The study is in the second phase of testing, where a pilot of the method has been improved, which includes digitalization and a game-approach.

Digital Sustainability Implementation Package (DSIP)
The purpose of DSIP is to enable a strategic sustainability approach early in the product innovation process. The DSIP package compile a knowledge platform, a data management platform and novel digital tools to evaluate, measure, estimate, predict, set requirement, and simulate expected sustainability performance for alternative product concepts early in the development.
Profile + Sustainable Product Development within Model-driven development and decision support
This profile+ project is based on a clear vision and objective regarding model driven development and decision support for sustainable product-service system (PSS) innovation and is building on the further deepening of the ongoing profile work with perspectives of raising international recognition through further presence in top publications, partnering with academics internationally, and also affecting educational programmes at BTH.
