Lupe Marimon Vicente

Lupe Marimon Vicente is a Researcher in the Department of Plant Biology at the University of Valencia, Spain, focusing on sustainable environmental solutions through plant-based biological processes.

Her academic background includes:

• Doctorate in Plant Biology, University of Valencia (2017). Thesis: 'Study of composting as a technique for the elimination of emerging contaminants'. Supervised by Dr. Rafael Boluda, Dr. Salvador Mormeneo Bernat, and Dr. María Iranzo Ródenas.

Her research integrates Environmental Science and Plant Biology to address waste management challenges, specializing in composting technologies for removing pharmaceuticals, microplastics, and industrial pollutants from organic waste streams. This work bridges bioremediation principles with practical agricultural applications, emphasizing circular economy approaches in contaminant mitigation.

During her doctoral training, she received the Spanish Ministry's FPI (Formación del Profesorado e Investigación) grant, a competitive predoctoral fellowship supporting early-career researchers in Spain.
