Raúl Molina Gil

Raúl Molina obtained his bachelor's degree in chemical engineering at Universidad Complutense de Madrid (1995-2000) and his PhD in 2006 (Universidad Rey Juan Carlos, PhD Outstanding Award, European Mention). His main research lines are focused on 2 different fields: the development, modelling and analysis of new redox systems for green hydrogen production by solar thermochemical water splitting; and the development, modelling, simulation and application of advanced oxidation processes for the treatment of industrial wastewaters streams and emerging pollutants and advanced biological wastewater treatments. He is founding member of the High-Performance Chemical and Environmental Engineering Research Group (GIQA) and has recently joined Instituto de Investigación de Tecnologías para la Sostenibilidad (ITPS) through the Rising Excellence Together Program, at URJC.

He is coauthor of 72 scientific papers (67 JCR-indexed) with high impact (54 Q1, 9 Q2) in the field of Chemical and Environmental Engineering (h-index 34) and 15 book chapters. Regarding the participation in scientific conferences, he has been involved in more than 90 contributions, most of them in high-impact international events (50% oral conferences, 1 invited keynote). To support this scientific career, he has participated with a prominent role in a high number of R&D projects with public competitive funding (24 projects), highlighting his role as co-Principal Investigator in two national projects in the last 3 years (Conversion of refinery sludge into carbon-based conductive materials with application on sustainable bioelectrochemical systems for reclaimed water achievement, SLUD4MAT&WATER, PID2021-122883OB-I00, Proyectos de Generación de Conocimiento 2021, and Producción de H2 renovable por disociación de H2O mediante ciclos termoquímicos solares de baja temperatura, RHYDROGENALTES, TED2021-132540B-I00, Proyectos Estratégicos Orientados a la Transición Ecológica y Digital 2021)

He is coauthor of 1 patent for an anaerobic photobioreactor for valorisation of wastewater obtaining high-value products (ADVANSIST, 2831600, under exploitation by FCC Aqualia), and 1 patent for a method to obtain hydrogen and syngas using perovskite materials and how to use them (29263933), with Universidad San Pablo-CEU, Spain.
