Profile

Zhaowen Liu obtained her master degree from School of Management Science and Real Estate of Chongqing University in 2018, focusing on the construction and innovation of smart eco-industrial park. She joined the Faculty of Civil Engineering and Geosciences at the Delft University of Technology in March 2019 for her doctoral degree.

Research

My current research focuses on inclusive urban development, particularly social inclusion issues related to circular economy. Compared with the linear economy where resources are simply used and incinerated, the transition to the circular economy will be labour-intensive, requiring more people to promote its 3R principles. In this context, this study aims to explore how to design an inclusive waste management system to ensure that the transition to a resource-efficient and environmental-friendly circular economy also delivers on social objectives.

Zhaowen’s PhD research is supported by an international cooperation project “Towards Inclusive Circular Economy: Transnational Network for Wise-waste Cities (IWWCs)” funded by the Dutch Research Council (NWO) and the National Natural Science Foundation of China (NSFC). In this Sino-Dutch project, we will develop conceptual frameworks and analytical models to clarify the effects of emerging waste management systems, design more inclusive infrastructure and management approaches for municipal waste and relevant industries, and validate our outcomes in the cities of the Netherlands and China.
