About
Donatella Corti is a leading researcher in sustainable product-service systems (PSS) and eco-design, with a focus on integrating life cycle assessment (LCA) into digital design environments. Her work bridges the gap between sustainability theory and practical engineering, particularly through the development of IT tools that enable real-time environmental impact evaluation during the design phase. Her highly cited 2018 study, "Integrating a LCA tool with a design platform towards a sustainable-aware PSS design: application in a FabLAB environment," demonstrates how makerspaces and Fab Labs can become hubs for sustainable innovation by embedding LCA directly into collaborative design workflows. This research, with over 11 citations, has influenced both academic discussions on circular economy and hands-on practices in distributed manufacturing. Corti’s contributions are pivotal for advancing environmentally conscious product development, making her a key voice in sustainable engineering and PSS research. Her work continues to inspire students and practitioners seeking to merge digital fabrication with rigorous sustainability assessment.
