BETA Technological Center, Spain
Dr. Mabel Mora is a Chemical Engineer, MSc in Environmental Studies and PhD in Environmental Sciences and Technology (UAB, 2014). She is currently the Leader of the Waste Gaseous Streams Treatment and Valorization research group at BETA Technological Center (Spain).
Dr. Mora research career started at GENOCOV research group (UAB, Barcelona) within the framework of the R&D competitive national projects BIODESULFURA and MICROBIOFIN, in the field of environmental technologies and focused on waste gaseous effluents treatment and valorization. After her PhD, she continued with a 3-year postdoc position at the UAB to propose, manage and develop a university-industry research project which was the starting point of a new research line developed at GENOCOV. In December 2018 Dr. Mora joined the BETA TC getting involved in different national and international R&D projects related with green processes for organic waste treatment and valorization and innovative technology transfer to agri-food industries; as part of her stage at BETA TC, Dr. Mora had a 7-month research experience at Duke University (US) (2019/20) to propose and develop a new research line based on the valorization of CO2 emissions to produce biopolymers.
Dr. Mora’s overall scientific production consists of 27 peer-reviewed journal publications, out of which 7 published within international collaborations; 1 book; and 4 dissemination articles. She has also participated in +15 International Conferences with +20 oral and poster presentations. She has been involved or is currently participating in +20 International R&D projects funded through competitive calls (e.g. Horizon Europe, H2020, LLAVOR, ENI CBC Med, RETOS de la Sociedad, etc.) either as PI, coordinator, project manager or researcher. She has also participated in 19 knowledge and technology transfer contracts with private entities and mentored more than 10 MSc and PhD students.
At ICEEM12 Dr. Mora will deliver a keynote lecture in the field of Environmental Biotechnology, entitled:
Waste gases as valuable and sustainable feedstocks for innovative bioproducts and biofuels generation
