Meet The Core Team
Dr Matteo Cossutta
Matteo holds a PhD from the University of Nottingham where his research focuses on techno-economic and environmental analysis in energy generation and storage, and nanomaterials.
Matteo has over 15 years of experience of conducting life cycle assessments (LCA) in a wide variety of industry sectors and across a diverse range of products and organisations.
He has deep expertise of the Carbon Disclosure Project (CDP) and Science-Based Targets Initiatives (SBTi) enabling him to advise businesses on best practice reporting of emissions reductions and net-zero targets.
Floris Bierkens
Floris holds a master’s degree in Renewable Energy Systems Engineering and another in Mechanical Engineering from the University of Surrey. His expertise lies in data analysis and energy optimisation.
Floris has published papers based on a number of research projects in these fields.
Floris specialises in performing and reviewing life cycle assessments (LCA), organisational carbon footprints, and carbon reduction projects, including Science-Based Targets Initiatives (SBTi).
Dr. Akos Cseke
Akos holds a PhD from the University of Manchester where he published several scientific papers including a framework for assessing self-healing products.
Akos has a background in engineering design and manufacturing with a focus on process modelling and life cycle assessment (LCAs) of new materials and emerging technologies.
He has conducted LCAs for several research projects in academia and industry.
Dr. Jorge Orozco
Jorge holds a PhD from the University of Nottingham specialising in the life cycle assessment of lithium-ion batteries for electric vehicles.
He is continuing his work as a postdoctoral researcher in engineering sustainability.
Jorge supports Aria Sustainability through his expertise in clean energy technologies and the production of low carbon fuels such as hydrogen from offshore renewable energy sources.
He also provides valuable expertise in carbon foot printing for the packaging industry.
We Collaborate With Expert Advisers
Aria Sustainability is a young business with big ambitions to positively influence as many sectors as possible.
That’s why from time to time, depending on project requirements, we collaborate with specialists from other organisations.
Our collaborators are trusted colleagues who share our sustainability goals and commitment to excellence.
Meet The Extended Team
Dr. Betsabé De La Barreda Bautista
Betsabé is an experienced research professional with expertise in remote sensing and GIS.
She has a proven track record in academic research, interdisciplinary collaboration, and leveraging geospatial technologies for real-world environmental solutions.
Aria Sustainability calls on Betsabé’s knowledge of cutting-edge geospatial data science and methodologies to track land use, deforestation, carbon dynamics, and climate-related impacts.
Dr. Fanran Meng
Fanran is a Lecturer in the School of Chemical, Materials, and Biological Engineering at the University of Sheffield. His research focuses on sustainable engineering solutions.
He specialises in integrating process simulation, material flow analysis, life cycle assessment, and techno-economic analysis to address challenges in resource efficiency and decarbonisation.
Faran lends considerable expertise in the areas of circular economy practices, renewable energy technologies, and the transition to a low-carbon future.
Prof. Jon McKechnie
Jon is a Professor in Mechanical Engineering at the University of Nottingham who has published over 65 international papers covering bioenergy, bio renewable fuels, emerging energy, transport materials, and energy storage.
He advises on projects involving biofuels, industrial biotechnology applications, and electrical energy storage.
Prof. Gavin Walker
Gavin’s research spans solid-state hydrogen storage, system design, and renewable energy integration, with a focus on increasing efficiency through waste heat utilisation.
His deep knowledge of hydrogen and its potential to support carbon reduction in many hard-to-decarbonise sectors and localities offers an alternative approach to energy supply and storage in a low carbon future.
