Juan Cubero

Margarita Salas Research Fellow

The principal academic qualification is the Degree in Chemistry (University of Seville, 2013/2017), Master's in Advanced Chemistry Studies, Master's in Applied Microbiology to Industrial Biotechnology (University of Seville, 2017/2018), and a PhD degree in Science and Technology Industrial and Environmental (University of Huelva, 2019/2021), qualified Cum Laude. The International mention in the PhD was awarded through an internship (3 months) at the National University of Ireland Galway, Ireland. PhD thesis was carried out through contracts associated with international and national research projects in the Spanish National Research Council (Instituto de la Grasa, Spain) and in the University of Huelva.

Most of the aforementioned research was focused on the valorization of agroindustry waste through pre-treatments to obtain high added value compounds, coupled with anaerobic biotechnologies, mainly anaerobic digestion for the conversion of organic substrates into biogas. These processes combine different bioprocesses to accomplish integral valorization processes, in accordance with the circular economy concepts.
