Ana M. Blanco-Marigorta is a full professor of chemical engineering at Las Palmas de Gran Canaria University, Spain. She received her doctorate (Ph.D.) with honors in chemistry from the University of La Laguna, Spain. She obtained a degree in chemistry at the University of Valladolid (Spain) and an engineering degree in energy technologies at the Universidad Nacional de Educación a Distancia (UNED), Spain. From 2004 to 2006, she was on a postdoctoral stay at the Energy Engineering Institute of the Technische Universität Berlin, Germany. Since then, she has participated in several research projects dealing with exergy analysis in energy conversion processes. Her research interests focus on thermodynamic optimization of energy systems through exergy methods (exergoeconomic, exergoenvironmental, etc.). She is the coauthor of a number of papers indexed in the JCR, eight book chapters, and two books. She has also codirected 28 M.Sc. and 4 Ph.D. theses. She has participated in several projects obtained through agreements with private companies, and she is the coauthor of one patent. She has participated in two international training innovation projects regarding energy–water interactions, more specifically in the area of water management and desalination engineering.
