Juan Jesús Rico Fuentes

Research Fellow, Laboratory of Transport Processes, Technical University of Dortmund

Doctor por la Universidad de Vigo, Universidad del País Vasco y Universidad de Burgos, realizó su tesis en el campo de la combustión de biomasa entre Vigo y Magdeburg. Actualmente trabaja como investigador a tiempo completo en la Technische Universität Dortmund, centrado en el estudio de la pirólisis como medio para el aprovechamiento de biomasa, reciclado de plásticos y electrificación de procesos industriales. Organizador y participante en numerosas actividades de divulgación científica como la Noche Europea de las Personas Investigadoras o el programa Inspira STEAM, que busca estimular el interés de las jóvenes en los estudios técnicos y científicos.
