José Ramón Lorenzo

FPU Research Fellowship

I hold a degree in Civil Engineering from Universidad Iberoamericana (Mexico), complemented by a Master’s in Environmental Engineering from Universidade de Santiago de Compostela. My multifaceted professional background ranges from managing construction projects to conducting laboratory research on water treatment and waste valorization.
I am deeply committed to addressing water scarcity and strongly believe in the circular economy as a key solution. My master’s thesis focuses on the study of purple phototrophic bacteria under saline conditions for the production of value-added products such as polyhydroxyalkanoates and carotenoids, under the supervision of Prof. Anuska Mosquera-Corral and Alba Pedrouso.
