Cristina Rueda Ruiz

Cristina Rueda Ruiz is an Associate Professor at the University of Cantabria and Team Lead for Cloud Service Programs at Ingram Micro. She obtained her PhD in Chemical Engineering and Processes (2016) from the University of Cantabria with a thesis on integrated forest biorefinery systems. Her roles include teaching chemical engineering courses and leading research in waste valorization, lignocellulosic materials, and pulping process optimization.

Education:

• PhD in Chemical Engineering (2016), University of Cantabria

Research Interests: Focuses on sustainable chemical processes including sulfite pulping technology, kinetic modeling of wood reactions, and biorefinery systems. Highlights include a 6-month collaboration (2013-2014) at L’Ecole Polytechnique de Montreal to develop Aspen Plus-based simulation models for sulfite pulping mills.

Labs/Teams: Collaborates with the Chemistry and Process & Resources Engineering Department and contributes to the GER research group (mentioned in her CV).
