I have a degree in Chemistry from the University of Santiago de Compostela, a Master's Degree in Chemistry and Food Engineering from the Chemical Institute of Sarrià - Barcelona Spain and a Diploma in Advanced Studies and a PhD in Chemical Engineering from the University of Santiago de Compostela- Spain.My research interests are focused on the valorization of lignocellulosic by-products, mainly to be used as a component in the formulation of bioadhesives and biopolymers, but also for their application as dyes in the textile industry or as additives in the food industry. In recent years I have worked at the Technological Development Unit (UDT) of the University of Concepción (Chile) as a researcher in the Bioproducts department, and at the Viseu Polytechnic Institute. I currently work as a researcher at the ARCP.
