LUCÍA SOL ANGELERI

Lucía Sol Angeleri holds a degree in Chemical Engineering from Universidad Tecnológica Nacional, Facultad Regional Córdoba (Argentina). Throughout her academic and professional career, she has gained experience in both industrial operations and research environments, ranging from process optimization in large-scale manufacturing to the development of sustainable technologies for biomass valorization.

During her undergraduate studies, she completed a three-year research scholarship focused on the valorization of agro-industrial residues. This experience provided her with training in experimental design, laboratory work, data analysis, and scientific communication, while strengthening her interest in circular economy strategies and sustainable resource utilization.

Lucía also gained industrial experience in both the refining and metallurgical sectors. As an R&D Intern at Refinería del Centro S.A., she participated in research and innovation activities in a pilot plant environment, supporting the evaluation of raw material and product specifications, contributing to new product development, and monitoring key performance indicators. This role allowed her to gain insight into the application of research at an industrial scale.

She later joined Tenaris as an Industrial Process Analyst at the Siderca steel mill. In this position, she monitored process performance through key indicators, identified process deviations, proposed improvement actions, and contributed to updating internal procedures. She also carried out root cause analyses related to product quality issues and participated in the implementation of corrective and preventive actions aimed at improving operational efficiency.

Lucía is currently pursuing her PhD within the UPCYCLE project, a Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions Doctoral Network funded by Horizon Europe, at Universidad Rey Juan Carlos in collaboration with Politecnico di Milano and Ingelia. Her research focuses on developing catalytic routes for the valorization of contaminated lignocellulosic waste through multifunctional materials, contributing to the production of sustainable fuels and chemicals from underutilized biomass resources.
