Juan Garcia Rodríguez received his Degree in Chemical Sciences (Industrial Chemistry) from the University of Extremadura, Spain, and his Ph.D. Degree in Chemical Engineering from the same University, working on wastewater treatment by chemical and biological processes. Since 2018, he has been a Full Professor in Chemical Engineering at the Chemical Engineering and Materials Department of Complutense University of Madrid. He has carried out five research stays. He is the author of more than 130 articles in international SCI journals, of which more than 80 belong to the first-quartile SCI articles (Q1) of the JCR epigraph. He has an H-index of 39, with a total of 5500 citations. He has participated in over 40 research projects and has been leading research projects since 2003. He has co-supervised a total of nine Doctoral PhD theses. He has served the scientific community as the Guest Editor of several international journals (JCR), and has been a member of various conferences program committees. His research interests have focused on the synthesis and characterization of carbon materials with enhanced properties and their catalytic application in adsorption and environmental catalysis and biomass valorization. He is leader-researcher of several active projects related to wastewater treatment and WWTPs waste valorization. Prof. Garcia has four six-year research periods recognised and is a regular assessor for AEI (State Research Agency) and other international bodies.
