Jose Luis Diaz de Tuesta Triviño graduated in Chemical Engineering at the Superior School of Experimental Science and Technology (ESCET) of the Universidad Rey Juan Carlos (URJC) in 2009. Immediately he obtained two consecutive grants to collaborate in the Chemical and Environmental Engineering Group of URJC in the projects: Fuels from urban plastic wastes and Synthesis of paraffin from olefins. In 2011, he worked as a pre-doctoral researcher at The Chemical Engineering Section of the Universidad Autónoma de Madrid (UAM) in the project REMTAVARES 2. Later he developed his Ph.D., granted by the Spanish Government, working on the application of doped carbon-based materials, kinetic modelling and simulation of the catalytic wet peroxide oxidation process. After that, he continued working as a post-doctoral researcher in the project REMTAVARES 3 and in July of 2015 he joined LCM-LSRE through a post-doctoral fellowship from the project: AIProcMat@N2020 - Advanced Industrial Processes and Materials for a Sustainable Northern Region of Portugal 2020 (NORTE-01-0145-FEDER-000006). In July of 2018, he starts working as researcher and co-IP in the project PLASTIC_TO_FUEL&MAT (POCI-01-0145-FEDER-031439) and he also collaborates in the project VALORCOMP (0119_VALORCOMP_2_P). Currently, he studies the valorisation of solid waste by their transformation into nano- and macro carbon-based materials (e.g. carbon nanotubes, carbon nanospheres, carbon nanofibers, activated carbons and biochars) with high performance as adsorbents or catalysts in environmental applications, mainly wastewater treatment.
