Bio
I graduated in Chemical Sciences in July 1991, doing the specialty of Industrial Chemistry at the University of Santiago de Compostela (USC). In October 1991 I began my doctoral thesis in the USC Department of Chemical Engineering, presenting it in March 1996. From 1/1/1992 to 12/31/1995 I was a fellow of the FPI program. Since April 1996 I have chained various contracts as Professor in said department of the USC. In 2006 I obtained the qualification of Full Professor at the University in a competition held at the University of Barcelona, obtaining the position of Full Professor in the USC Department of Chemical Engineering (January 2007). I did two research stays at the Delft University of Technology in the Netherlands (9 months, years 1993-1994 and 1996) and one stay for 6 months (1997) at the Cirsee, research center of the multinational Suez Environment in Le Pecq sur Seine (France), with a grant from the EU Marie Curie program. My research profile is related to the field of Chemical and Environmental Engineering, in topics related to wastewater treatment, biorecovery of the contaminated coastline and recovery of water resources (reuse and recovery of phosphorous). I have published some 50 scientific articles, presented more than 80 communications to congresses, written 10 book chapters, I have 4 national patents (1 European) and directed 7 doctoral theses (5 of them in the last 10 years). I participated in various European, national and regional research projects, as well as in various research contracts with companies
