Académica e investigadora en las líneas de tratamiento y valorización de residuos sólidos municipales y agroindustriales, así como el tratamiento de residuos líquidos por vía biológica.
Actualmente explotamos el uso del biochar obtenido a partir de la pirolisis de la cáscara de avena en la producción de metano e hidrógeno por vía biológica a partir de residuos ricos en grasas y proteínas.

Pregrado: Balance de materiales y energía, Química general.
