About

Dr. Andreja Abina is a pioneering researcher at the intersection of sustainability science, advanced manufacturing, and environmental monitoring. Her work centers on two critical domains: developing decision-support frameworks for sustainable industrial transformation, and creating innovative sensing technologies for pollution detection. In her most impactful work (2022, 23 citations), she derived actionable competences from established models to help future factories integrate advanced technologies while improving sustainability in their business models and strategies—a crucial contribution to the Industry 4.0 and green transition nexus. Earlier, she led development of an electromagnetic multisensory robotic system capable of detecting pollution sources in both terrestrial and underwater environments (2013), addressing the critical lack of efficient technical tools for environmental monitoring. This work tackles serious threats to human health, biodiversity, and tourism. Dr. Abina’s research uniquely bridges theoretical competence modeling with practical robotic sensing, demonstrating how interdisciplinary approaches can solve complex sustainability challenges. Her contributions are particularly valuable for researchers and practitioners seeking to operationalize sustainability in industrial contexts through both human skills development and technological innovation.
