Dr Óscar Gil Castell is a Lecturer in the Department of Chemical Engineering at the University of Valencia, a researcher within the R&D&I Group on Materials Technology and Sustainability (MATS) and member of the Group on Teaching Innovation in Chemical Engineering and Environment (IDIQMA).

His work focuses on materials engineering, particularly on the design, development and characterisation of polymers, biopolymers and functional composite materials. His research is devoted to the development of advanced materials aimed at sustainability and the circular economy, as well as to the assessment of their thermal, mechanical, structural and stability properties. He has participated in national and international projects related to resource valorisation, hybrid materials and advanced characterisation techniques.

He actively collaborates with technology centres, companies and certification bodies in innovation and technology transfer, taking part in industrial development and evaluation projects for sustainable materials. He is also involved in teaching innovation and in the supervision and training of young researchers in the field of polymeric materials and their application in chemical engineering processes.
