Dr. Fabiola Vilaseca is an organic chemist for the University of Barcelona (1992), a master's thesis on carbonylation reactions (UB, 1994), and catalytic hydroformylation reactions for the University of Girona (1996), and PhD on paper engineering and recycling (UdG, 2000). Nowadays, she is a Professor at the Chemical Engineering Department of the University of Girona (UdG) since 2008, and leader of the research group on Advanced Biomaterials and Nanotechnology at UdG. Her research expertise comes from about 18 years of working mainly on cellulose fibers and cellulose-based composite materials, but also on pulping and polymer processing and characterization. She worked for one year at R&D Dept. in a pulping company (2001) and for two years at R&D Dept. in a cast-PMMA company (2002–2003). Later on, she became a lecturer professor at the University of Girona (2003), where she mainly developed her research on cellulosic materials and gained over 15 years of teaching experience in chemistry and chemical engineering subjects. More recently, in collaboration with WWSC-KTH, she has been involved in projects intended for wood-fiber composites by melt processing (BiMac Innovation).
