David Fernández Gutiérrez | Chemical Engineering | Best Researcher Award

CETENMA | Spain

David Fernández Gutierrez is a highly skilled chemical engineer and researcher with advanced expertise in bioprocesses, environmental management, and sustainable industrial practices. He earned a PhD in Chemical Engineering with a focus on bioprocesses through a collaborative program between the Université de Sherbrooke in Canada and IRCELYON at Université Claude Bernard Lyon 1 in France, where his doctoral research centered on the biovalorization of dairy industry wastewater into biofuels. His academic and professional background is grounded in strong analytical, problem-solving, and experimental design skills, enabling him to develop hypotheses, implement solutions, evaluate data with structured methodologies, and communicate complex concepts effectively. David holds a Master’s degree in Engineering and Environmental Management, specializing in water management, waste management and soil remediation, and air pollution control, where he conducted impactful research on the electrokinetic removal of phenanthrene from clay soils. His foundational training in Chemical Engineering includes process engineering, catalysis, transport phenomena, thermodynamics, heat transmission, reactors design, and energy and environmental systems, complemented by a final project on electrokinetic soil remediation focusing on electromigration and electrophoresis. Beyond formal education, he has strengthened his multidisciplinary profile through extensive additional training in business administration, energy management systems (ISO 50001), environmental management systems (ISO 14001), Autocad 2D/3D, chemical plant simulators, process safety through Haz-Op analysis, sustainable enterprise management, and quality control in chemical laboratories. His experience as an environmental technician further demonstrates his capacity to develop documentation, manage system implementation, and propose improvements for certified environmental management systems. With a solid record of technical expertise, sustainability-driven research, and cross-functional training, David brings a comprehensive and integrative approach to environmental engineering, bioprocess optimization, and industrial sustainability, making him a versatile professional capable of contributing meaningfully to innovative solutions in energy, environment, and chemical process industries.
