Ideation
Hugo Blox supports a Markdown extension for mindmaps.
Simply insert a Markdown code block labelled as markmap and optionally set the height of the mindmap as shown in the example below.
Mindmaps can be created by simply writing the items as a Markdown list within the markmap code block, indenting each item to create as many sub-levels as you need:
```markmap {height="200px"}
- Hugo Modules
- Hugo Blox
- netlify
- netlify-cms
- slides
```
renders as
- Hugo Modules - Hugo Blox - netlify - netlify-cms - slides
Diagrams
Hugo Blox supports the Mermaid Markdown extension for diagrams.
An example Gantt diagram:
```mermaid

section Section
Completed :done, des1, 2014-01-06,2014-01-08
Active :active, des2, 2014-01-07, 3d
Parallel 1 : des3, after des1, 1d
Parallel 2 : des4, after des1, 1d
Parallel 3 : des5, after des3, 1d
Parallel 4 : des6, after des4, 1d
```

Assistant Professor of Industrial Ecology
My research focuses on the expansion of data availability on the environmental impacts of products and technologies, and on the development of tools and methods for circular economy assessment.
My work lays at the intersection between data collection through fieldwork, integration of artificial intelligence into these practices, and the orchestration with simulation tools and information systems.
I lead the development of R9Lab, the physical and digital laboratory for primary data collection to estimate the environmental requirements of durable goods
