Prof. Dr. Jorge Paz-Ferreiro

Dr. Jorge Paz-Ferreiro has an undergraduate degree in Environmental Chemistry (La Coruna University, Spain) and a PhD in Environmental Science (University of Santiago de Compostela, Spain). His PhD focused on soil quality in grassland soils, using soil biochemical properties. Later, he held several post-doctoral positions. His first post-doctoral appointment was at Lancaster University (UK), where his research focused on grassland ecology. Later, he studied biochar’s agronomic value and its effects on geochemical cycles at Universidad Politecnica de Madrid (Spain). He was a post-doctoral scholar at the Chinese Academy of Sciences (China) focusing on using biochar to remediate inorganic polluted land areas. Currently, he is a lecturer at RMIT University (Australia). His research is focused on improving the understanding of soil–plant–biochar interactions.
