Felipe José Landazábal Santiago
Felipe José Landazábal Santiago completed his bachelor's degree in chemical engineering at Rey Juan Carlos University. He subsequently earned a master's degree in chemical engineering from both Autonoma University of Madrid and Rey Juan Carlos University.
His research career began in 2022 with his involvement in the ARQUIMEA project, which focused on the valorization of pig slurry for the production of protein for purple phototropic bacteria and biogas. During his master's studies, he completed an internship at the IMDEA Energy Institute, where he carried out research on the development of batteries based on Zn(TFSI)₂/PEGDME systems. This work led to his first scientific publication, marking a significant milestone in his academic career.
Due to the successful outcomes of the ARQUIMEA project, he was contracted by Rey Juan Carlos University to participate in the SAFADCAT project, aimed at the development of sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) from lignocellulosic waste.
At the end of 2023, he was awarded an FPI fellowship to purpose his Ph.D. research, which focuses on the production of oxygenated precursors from acetoin for application in the aviation sector.
Currently, he is actively involved in one of the main research lines of the European project BIOCTANE, dedicated to the valorization of acetoin as a platform for the development of advanced biofuels.
