Juan Gabriel Segovia-Hernandez - Improvements in Bio-Based Building Blocks Production Through Process Intensification and Sustainability Concepts

Juan Gabriel Segovia-Hernndez, Professor in the Department of Chemical Engineering of University of Guanajuato (Mxico), has expertise in the synthesis, design, and optimization of bioprocesses. He has contributed to defining systematic methodologies to found, in a complete way, optimum sustainable and green processes for the production of several commodities. He also applied his methodologies to the production of biofuels and biobased building blocks. Products of his research are more than 140 papers published in high-impact-factor indexed journals, 3 books with prestigious international publishers, and 4 patent registers. In addition, he acts as a reviewer for more than 25 top journals in chemical engineering, energy, and applied chemistry. For his pioneering work and remarkable achievements in his area of scientific research, he was elected National President of the Mexican Academy of Chemical Engineering (201315) and has been a member of the Mexican Academy of Sciences since 2012. He also is the Associate Editor of Chemical Engineering and Processing: Process Intensification Journal and Chemical Engineering Research and Design Journal (Elsevier).

Eduardo Snchez-Ramrez, Professor at the Department of Chemical Engineering at the University of Guanajuato (Mexico) since 2017, has gained considerable experience in the area of synthesis, design, simulation, control, and optimization of chemical processes. Currently published contributions focus on the production of biofuels and base chemicals in the chemical industry. He has currently published more than 35 articles in indexed journals, 9 book chapters with renowned publishers, and has registered 2 patents. He acts as a reviewer of indexed journals in the area of energy and chemical engineering. He earned his PhD summa cum laude in 2017 and his National System of Researchers Level 1, SNI Mexico in 2019. He was Guest Editor of Chemical Engineering and Processing Process Intensification Journal in May 2020.
