Integrating lifecycle thinking in semiconductor technologies
The Department of Electronics and Telecommunications-DET at Politecnico di Torino will host a seminar titled “Integrating lifecycle thinking in semiconductor technologies”, presented by Sara Carniello, MBA.
Sara Carniello studied materials engineering in Italy and earned an MBA from Montanuniversität Leoben (MUL), Austria.
She has extensive experience in technology and product development in the industry. Since 2022, she has been a scientist at Joanneum Research, coordinating the Environment and Sustainability business area and serving as a contact person for circular economy projects. She is also an advisor to the Circular Economy Forum Austria and a guest lecturer at several European universities.
The talk will explore how sustainability can be integrated into semiconductor technology development. The electronics industry - highly material- and energy-intensive, responsible for about 7% of global energy demand - relies on critical raw materials. As environmental impacts are largely determined in the early stages of development, integrating sustainability and life cycle thinking into technological design is essential for creating truly sustainable products.
The seminar will illustrate the main environmental impacts of electronics, introduce the concept of Life Cycle Thinking, and discuss how it can guide technical innovation toward more sustainable outcomes.
The event is supported by the European project GreenChips-EDU and co-organized with the IEEE Student Branch Politecnico di Torino.
