During the last few years, enormous efforts have been made in the understanding and development of solar chemical technologies, leading to important achievements in this field. The next step to implement these technologies as sustainable renewable alternatives is their scale-up and industrialization, representing a great challenge. This symposium is open to contributions on different routes towardssolar fuels generation using scaled-up technologies at an industrial level. It will cover topics from photoelectrocatalytic, photovoltaic, photocatalysis and concentrated solar power technologies. Additionally, contributions on the employment of Artificial Intelligence (A.I), Machine Learning and other digital technologies to ease and accelerate the lab-to-industry transition are also welcome.
- Photoelectrocatalysis
- Photovoltaics
- Photocatalysis
- Concentrated Solar Power
- Artificial photosynthesis
- Artificial Intelligence (A.I.) for accelerated scale-up
Director of Strategic Projects at APRIA Systems SL & Part time Assistant Professor at the Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering Department from the University of Cantabria (UC), Spain. After concluding her doctoral thesis, E. Santos spent a period of two years at the UC as postdoctoral researcher until she joins the private company APRIA Systems SL with a Torres Quevedo Grant in 2016. She has worked as project manager on different projects including the valorization of CO2 streams, obtaining green H2 as an energy vector applied to the sustainable mobility sector or the recovery of fluorinated gases from the refrigeration industry, among others. In 2023 she is promoted to Director of Strategic Projects.
As a result of her scientific activity, E. Santos has reported a total of 22 publications, of which 9 are in high-impact international journals indexed in JCR and 13 contributions to conference books with ISBN. Her work has received a total of 615 citations, with an h index of 9 (Scopus) in a short period of time and taking into account the work dedication to the world of private business where the dissemination of knowledge through the publication of scientific papers is not usual practice. The results have been disseminated in 30 international conferences (2 keynote and 15 oral communications defended by E. Santos). E. Santos has worked on 30 research projects (11 European projects, 12 national and 7 regional. E. Santos has supervised 2 Doctoral thesis (Industrial Doctorate) and 1 Master's thesis in the field of chemical engineering.
