Juan Gabriel Segovia-Hernandez is a Professor at the Department of Chemical Engineering at the University of Guanajuato (México) with strong expertise in the synthesis, design, and optimization of (bio) processes. He has contributed to defining systematic methodologies to found optimum sustainable and green processes for the production of several commodities. He has also applied his methodologies to the production of biofuels and Bio-Based Building Blocks. His research has resulted in more than 120 papers published in high impact factor indexed journals, 3 books with prestigious international publishers, and three patent registers. He acts as a reviewer for over 25 top journals in chemical engineering, energy, and applied chemistry. For the pioneering work and remarkable achievements in his area of scientific research, he was the National President of the Mexican Academy of Chemical Engineering (2013-2015). He has gained considerable experience in the area of synthesis, design, simulation, control, and optimization of chemical processes. His published contributions focus on the production of biofuels and base chemicals in the chemical industry.

Dr. Salvador Hernández got his Master’s and Ph.D. degrees from the Instituto Tecnológico de Celaya in 1993 and 1998, respectively. He was a scholar researcher at the University of Delaware. Currently, he is a professor-researcher at the Universidad de Guanajuato and a member of the National Research System of Mexico. His research interest is in the area of design and intensification of biofuels production processes, including renewable aviation fuel. He has published more than 80 papers and 7 book chapters.
