Felix is a Doctoral student at the Department of Building Technology, at Linnaeus University, and his research interest lie in circularity in wood multi-storey building construction. Felix has a background in Building Technology and Construction Management. Before joining Linnaeus, Felix worked as a researcher at Leeds Beckett University. He focused on internet of things (IoT) application in the real estate industry in developing countries. Felix also has industrial experience in site management for construction firms in Ghana.
Teaching
My teaching activities are related to courses at the Bachelor and Master´s level on "Energy and Climate-Efficient Construction".
Research
Transitioning to a circular approach in wood building construction is challenging. This reseacrh focuses on multi-storey wood buildings using cross-laminated timber (CLT), also known as mass timber, which enables taller wood structures. While the CLT industry is expanding in Europe, especially in Sweden, it faces challeneges related to circular economy demands, as current CLT buildings are not designed for circularity. To enhance circularity, the project aims to develop strategies for CLT design and construction that optimize material recovery, supporting the industry with open-access tools and highlighting potential environmental benefits. This will enable the industry to more easily transition to a circular economy in its operations and be well-positioned for future policy changes.
The project is part of the research groups, Building Physics and Wood Building Technology and in the Linnaeus Knowledge Environment Green Sustaianble Development funded by Kamprad Family Foundation. Collaboration with municipal and regional authorities and companies working with wood materials, building design, and construction. The research work is done under the supervision of Professor Ambrose Dodoo (Linnaeus University) and Associate Prof. Jonn Are Myhren (Dalarna University).
