Profile Aya Heiho is an associate professor in the Faculty of Environmental Studies, Tokyo City University starting April 2023. She received PhD Environmental Studies from Yokohama National University in 2016, and then was a researcher at Presidential Endowed Chair for “Platinum Society”, the University of Tokyo until March 2023. During 2015 to 2017, she worked as a JSPS Research Fellow for Young Scientists on life cycle assessment and input-output analysis for the promotion of biomass utilization. In recent years, she also worked on technology and/or system evaluation for renewable energy, resource recycling, and municipal health promotion projects. Currently, she is developing evaluation research for social implementation of technologies and/or systems, focusing on lifecycle assessment, which is expected to develop and be applied in various fields.
Research Field(Keyword & Summary)
  1. Life Cycle Environmental Engineering

    To provide solutions to complex environmental and social issues, it is important to take a holistic view of things, to develop innovative technologies and systems, and to establish assessment methodologies. Life Cycle Environmental Engineering supports better choices and decision-making by comprehensively evaluating social implementation of technologies and/or systems to solve various environmental and social issues based on life cycle thinking.
