xiv About the Editors

Dr. Stig Irving Olsen is an Associate Professor
in sustainable production at the section for
Quantitative Sustainability Assessment, Depart-
ment of Management Engineering at the Tech-
nical University of Denmark. He obtained his
Ph.D. in LCA from Technical University of
Denmark in 1997 and a Master of Science in
Biology from University of Copenhagen in
1988. Since his Ph.D., his main research area
has been in methodology development in LCA,
particularly in the life cycle impact assessment
of human health impact. During the last years
his research has focused more on application of
LCA in several technology areas, including
renewable energy and nanotechnology.

Dr. Deepak Pant is a Research Scientist at the
Flemish Institute for Technological Research
(VITO), Belgium, currently working on bioen-
ergy, specifically, the design and optimisation
of bioelectrochemical systems for energy
recovery from wastewaters and microbial elec-
trosynthesis for production of value added
chemicals and fuels through electrochemically
driven bioprocesses. He has a Ph.D. in Envi-
ronmental Biotechnology (2007) from TERI
University, New Delhi (India) and has 28 peer-
reviewed publications with 950 citations (h-
Index 14) and 10 book chapters to his credit. He is involved in several European
projects on biomass, biowaste, wastewater treatment and feasibility studies. His
research experience lies in industrial wastewater treatment, wasteland reclamation
and restoration, biofertilisers, sustainable agriculture, biofuels and bioenergy and
life cycle analysis (LCA).
