Angela Daniela La Rosa is Associate Professor of the Department of Manufacturing and Civil Engineering at the Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU). She is a chemist with a strong focus on polymer composites and environmental impact including LCA/LCC. She holds a Ph.D. in Chemistry of Polymer Materials, carried out in the Wilton International Research Centre (UK), within the Strategic Technology Group of ICI (Imperial Chemical Industries). Prof. La Rosa started her education on LCA and LCC in 2006 through a research visit at the Division of Environmental Systems, Chalmers University of Technology, Gothenburg, and by attending an advanced course in Life Cycle Assessment at the Royal Institute of Technology (KTH) Stockholm, Sweden. Since then, she has published several articles on LCA applied on polymer composites. Currently she teaches a course on LCA of energy systems and a course on LCA for Ecodesign at NTNU, Norway.
