Silvia Greses Huerta

Dr. Silvia Greses Huerta is a researcher in the Department of Chemical Engineering at the School of Engineering, Universitat de València, where she contributes to the CALAGUA-UV Research Group on Environmental Technologies. Her work focuses on anaerobic fermentation processes for the valorization of organic waste into valuable biochemicals such as volatile and short-chain fatty acids.

Her research interests lie at the intersection of environmental biotechnology, waste-to-resource conversion, and sustainable bioprocess engineering. She investigates microbial community dynamics, process stability, and optimization strategies in anaerobic systems, particularly for food waste, microalgae, and agroindustrial residues. Her work integrates experimental design with process modeling and sustainability assessment.

Recent publications highlight a strong focus on process robustness, operational parameters (e.g., HRT, pH, temperature), and microbial responses in anaerobic fermentation. Her research spans lab-scale experimentation to techno-economic and environmental assessments, indicating a systems-level approach to biorefinery development.

She obtained her PhD from the Universitat de València in 2018 with a thesis on the anaerobic degradation of microalgae from membrane reactor effluents, supervised by Dr. Aurora Seco Torrecillas and Dr. Daniel Aguado García.

While no scientific awards are listed in the provided text, her sustained publication output in high-impact areas suggests active research funding and collaboration. She likely supervises students within the CALAGUA-UV group, though specific advisees are not named.

The CALAGUA-UV research group, which she is part of, specializes in environmental technologies, particularly water reuse, anaerobic membrane bioreactors (AnMBR), and resource recovery from wastewater and organic residues, aligning closely with her research themes.
