- Prof. Dr. Manuel Andrés Rodrigo was born in Plasencia, Spain, in 1970. He obtained his PhD in Chemical Engineering in 1997 at the Universidad of Valencia and since 2009 is full professor of Chemical Engineering at the Universidad Castilla La Mancha. His research interests include on electrochemical water and wastewater treatment, high temperature PEM fuel cells, electrochemical production of oxidants, electrocatalysis, microbial fuel cells and electrochemically assisted soil remediation. He has consolidated a highly competitive and internationally-minded research team, focused on the development of new and value-added applications of electrochemical engineering, with expertise in the frontiers between electrochemistry-energy and electrochemistry-environment and with a relevant transfer of knowledge to the industry. Over these years, he has kept a strong consultant collaboration with many companies in energy and e^330 Q1 according to WoS), more than 80 technical reports for companiesand 5 patents. He has supervised 17 doctoral theses and has an H-index of 67 and more than 18000 citations. He has presented more than 400 communications (more than half of them as oral communications) in congresses including more than 50 keynotes.



- Prof. Dr. Elisama Vieira dos Santos was born in Santa Cruz, Brazil. She received her Ph.D (2015) in the institute of chemistry at the Federal University of Rio Grande do Norte (UFRN), Brazil. During her Ph.D, she participated as visiting research in the Electrochemical & Environmental Engineering Lab at the Universidad de Castilla-La Mancha (Spain, 2014) under supervision of Prof. Manuel Andres Rodrigo, evaluating the pesticides decontamination from wastewaters and soils by using electrochemical oxidation and electrokinetic remediation, respectively. She is currently Associate Professor in the School of Sciences and Technology at the UFRN. She was awarded with important prize "Women in Science" (2016) by UNESCO and the
