Biographical Sketch
Dr. Halog received his research-based doctorate degree in Economics (with
research focus in Sustainability and Environmental Management Systems)
from the University of Karlsruhe, Germany. He had also participated in an
Advanced Postgraduate Training in Environment and Sustainable Development
at the United Nations University which covers diverse sustainability
issues related to urban environment, water resources, natural resources,
environmental change, environmental policy and technology at national,
regional and global levels. He had been a Visiting Researcher at the
National Research Council of Canada where he applied quantitative and
systems-based approaches (i.e. dynamic systems modeling & simulation) to
develop a complex systems model for sustainability assessment of novel and
innovative technologies in the Canadian Oil Sands industry. He was also
involved in reviewing and analyzing published studies in environmental
life cycle assessment of bio-products. Before coming to North America, he
had been a Visiting Research Fellow at the Research Center for Life Cycle
Assessment in Tsukuba, Japan with the research agenda of developing and
applying quantitative and systems thinking approaches to environmental
life cycle analysis and sustainability assessment.
