Alba Cabrera appointed as Lecturer at UdG

Alba Cabrera Codony has been appointed as Lecturer at the Department of Chemical, Agricultural and Agro-Food Engineering (EQATA) of the University of Girona. This position is an important step in her academic career and significantly reinforces the positioning of LEQUIA research group, of which she is member.

Alba Cabrera studied a degree in Environmental Sciences, and a Master’s in Water Science and Technology at the University of Girona. In 2016 she completed a doctoral thesis on the removal of siloxanes from biogas through adsorption processes, a topic on which she has published numerous articles and given presentations at international conferences. After her doctorate, the researcher was awarded with several prestigious post-doctoral grants (Juan de la Cierva, MSCA-Cofund TecnioSpring) and developed part of her activity abroad; specifically, in the United States and Italy.

Currently, Dr. Cabrera is researching the application of adsorption and oxidation processes to the treatment of both liquid and gaseous effluents. Thus, she works on projects within the energy (biogas) and water (potable water treatment and regeneration of purified water) fields. She works in multidisciplinary research teams that apply chemical engineering, analytical chemistry and mathematical modeling. The researcher also stands out for her transfer activity, developed within the framework of several contracts with companies and entities in the water sector.

We congratulate Alba Cabrera on this appointment, and we celebrate the impact that this will certainly have on the excellence and projection of our group.
