Profile
Xavier Flores-Alsina joined the Center of Process Engineering and Technology (PROCESS) at the Technical University of Denmark (DTU) as Marie Curie Fellow in May 2013. He finished his PhD at the Laboratory of Chemical and Environmental Engineering at the University of Girona (Spain) in 2008. During his studies he did long research-stays in the United Kingdom (Department of Engineering Science, University of Oxford) and Denmark (Department of Chemical and Biochemical Engineering, Technical University of Denmark). He gained post doctoral experience working in Canada (Department of Water and Civil Engineering, Laval University), Sweden (Department of Industrial Electrical Engineering and Automation, Lund University), Australia (Advanced Water Managament Center, University of Queensland) and South Africa (Department of Civil Engineering, University of Cape Town). The focus of his research has been related to benchmarking, modeling and control of (bio) chemical systems.
