Damià Palmer Comas

Damià Palmer Comas serves as an Assistant Professor in the Chemical Engineering and Materials Science Department at IQS School of Engineering, Ramon Llull University, Barcelona. His academic role integrates teaching responsibilities with active research in environmental process engineering and simulation.

His primary research focuses on chemical kinetics of pollutant formation during thermal waste treatment processes. Key interests include dioxin (PCDD/Fs) formation/destruction mechanisms, atmospheric emission modeling, pyrolysis/combustion chemistry, and development of statistical methods for toxicity estimation. His work bridges laboratory experimentation with industrial-scale emission prediction through kinetic modeling and data-driven approaches.

Analysis of his publications reveals consistent emphasis on quantifying dioxin emissions from waste thermal processes using advanced statistical techniques. His research demonstrates progression from fundamental kinetic studies (2018) toward integrated emission estimation frameworks (2020-2021), with increasing focus on practical industrial applications and toxicity assessment.

Dr. Palmer Comas participates in significant research funding through the AGAUR-funded GESPA projects (2017-2021 and 2022-2025), contributing to environmental process simulation research. While formal student advisement isn't specified, his collaborative research environment suggests involvement in mentoring junior researchers within the GESPA framework.

The Grup d'Enginyeria i Simulació de Processos Ambientals (GESPA) constitutes his primary research ecosystem, focusing on computational modeling of environmental processes with emphasis on waste treatment emissions. This multidisciplinary team develops simulation tools for predicting pollutant formation across various thermal treatment scenarios.
