Since March 2016 she has been a full professor the La Mobilière Chair on Urban Ecology and Sustainable Living at École polytechnique fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL) in Switzerland and founding director of the Laboratory for Human-Environment Relations in Urban Systems (HERUS)[1] at School of Architecture, Civil and Environmental Engineering (ENAC)[2] of EPFL. Since January 2020 she has been serving as dean of ENAC at EPFL.[3]

Early life and education

Binder was born in Montreal, Canada, and spent most of her childhood in Switzerland and Colombia.[4]

From 1985 to 1996 Binder studied at ETH Zurich, first earning a degree in biochemistry and then a PhD in environmental sciences. She then joined University of Maryland, USA, for post-doctoral research.

Career

In 1998 she returned to ETH Zurich as a senior research scientist to study the interaction between human and environmental systems at the Institute for Natural and Social Science Interface. In 2006, she was nominated assistant professor in the Department of Geography at University of Zurich, and in 2009 moved to the University of Graz in Austria as was full professor of systems science. In 2011, she became full professor of human-environment relations at the  Department of Geography at University of Munich.[5] Binder joined École polytechnique fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL) in March 2016 and founded the Laboratory for Human-Environment Relations in Urban Systems (HERUS)[1] at School of Architecture, Civil and Environmental Engineering (ENAC),[2] where she also holds the La Mobilière Chair on Urban Ecology and Sustainable Living.[6]

At EPFL, Binder is the academic director of Design Together, a cross-disciplinary teaching initiative.[7] In 2018 she was appointed to the management team of the Energy Center and in 2019 as head of the working group on EPFL’s energy and sustainability strategy.[4]

Research

Her research involves analyzing, modeling and assessing the transition of urban systems towards sustainability. She examines the dynamics of urban metabolism, what characterizes a sustainable city, and what drives and hinders transformation processes. She does so by combining knowledge from social, natural and data science. Her research focuses on food, energy, and sustainable living and transport in urban systems.[4]
