Dr. Matilda Watz is a researcher and lecturer at the Department of Strategic Sustainable Development. Her research interests consider organizational decision-making practices for sustainable product development from a requirements development and management perspective. As such, her work focuses on understanding and improving processes, methods, tools and routines for identification, modelling and selection of sustainability criteria and design requirements, and how these can be organized and and used and to guide concept selection and trade-off management for sustainable product development in different types of product development companies.
