About
Biography
Dr Elias Martinez Hernandez is a Research Fellow at CES working on the development of methodologies and tools for sustainable design of Local Production systems Using REnewable resources (LocalPURE), a project funded by the Leverhulme Trust. He has got a PhD in Process Integration from The University of Manchester, UK in 2013. His PhD work was on the development and application of process integration, economic and environmental analysis tools for the design of sustainable biorefineries.
