Jose Manuel Benito Moreno

Jose Manuel Benito Moreno serves as an Associate Professor in the Department of Biotechnology and Food Science at the Faculty of Sciences, University of Burgos, Spain, with research spanning industrial biotechnology, food science, and environmental engineering applications.

Education:

• PhD in Chemical Engineering from the University of Oviedo (1999) with thesis: "Ultrafiltration of oil/water emulsions, removal of oils in wastewater from steel cold rolling." Supervised by Dr. José Coca Prados and Dr. Carmen Pazos.

Research Focus: His work integrates chemical engineering principles with biotechnology to address industrial wastewater challenges, particularly in steel manufacturing. Key methodologies include membrane filtration systems for oil separation, emphasizing sustainable environmental solutions and food safety applications through the BIOIND research group's framework.

Research Infrastructure: He operates within the "UNIDAD DE INVESTIGACION CONSOLIDADA 128" and leads projects in the "BIOIND Industrial and Environmental Biotechnology" group, contributing to the "Avances en Ciencia y Biotecnología Alimentarias" PhD program at the University of Burgos.

Academic Supervision: Dr. Moreno mentors doctoral candidates in food science and biotechnology through structured PhD supervision, focusing on practical industrial applications of biochemical engineering principles.
