[ Automatic translation ]

I am a Full Professor at the Department of Chemical Engineering at the University of Valencia (UVEG) and researcher at the Environmental Engineering Research Group (GI2AM).

I have a degree in Chemical Engineering and a Masters in Environmental Engineering from the University of Valencia (UV-UPV). I did my doctoral thesis in the Chemical, Environmental and Process Engineering program of the UVEG, with the qualification of "Cum Laude", International Mention and Extraordinary Doctorate Award.

My research activity focuses on the development of bioprocesses for the valorization of waste streams and their integration in biorefinery platforms, aimed at obtaining biofuels, bioplastics and other products of high added value from different types of waste, including agricultural, agro-industrial, textile and other complex waste of industrial origin. This line addresses the transformation of these streams through fermentative processes and the design of operation strategies aimed at maximizing the production of target compounds, with application in the industrial environment.

I develop my research activity in collaboration with national and international groups, within the framework of regional, state and European projects, among which the Marie Curie "NextAirBiotreat" project stands out, which included a stay in the R&D department of PAS Solutions BV (Netherlands). Also, I obtained a competitive postdoctoral contract from the Generalitat Valenciana, with a research stay at the Universidade da Coruña.

My academic activity is completed with the direction of final master's theses and doctoral theses, as well as with the academic coordination of the first year of the Degree in Chemical Engineering and the Double Degreein Chemistry and Chemical Engineering.
