Elizabeth Duarte Department of Sciences and Engineering of Biosystems, School of Agronomy (University of Lisbon); |
Elizabeth D’Almeida Duarte, Full Professor in ISA-ULisboa, has more than 30 years of experience in the scientific domain of biotechnological processes applied to organic waste fractions valorization and wastewater treatment, with a particular focus in anaerobic co-digestion for bioenergy production. Furthermore, the main objectives of her research activity have been on agronomic/ energetic valorisation of biowastes from the wine, cheese, and livestock-production and olive oil sectors implementing new management strategies along the production chain. Her research vision is the definition of new routes for improving resource efficiency through waste minimization to mitigate climate change linked with the benefits/applications of biogas systems for the development of clear recognized circular strategies globally, either in urban or rural areas. She has expertise in teaching in service staff, undergraduate, MSc, PhD and, Post-doc students in bioenergy, organic waste recycling and environmental technology. She has coordinated several organic waste management projects in Portugal, and in more than 20 EU financed project, and projects in Brazil, Cabo Verde, Mozambique, Timor, Guinee Tunisia, and Morocco. Author, senior author, and co-author of more than one hundred publications of which 50 are in international refereed scientific journals, more than 25 are book chapters or conference proceedings and more than 50 are reports, popular articles published in farmer’s journals etc. The peer reviewed journal papers have been highly cited. Most of the publications related with environmentally friendly techniques applied to biowastes produced in agro industrial and urban sectors to improve resource efficiency through bio-waste minimization and the selection of ecologically engineered systems for pollution mitigation, contributing to zero waste concept. She is responsible for different courses and modules in the Master Program of Environmental Engineering, Food Bioenergy, Master Program in Engineering of Renewable Energies, Master Program in Chemical and Biochemical Engineering, Doctoral Program in Environmental Engineering, and Doctoral Program in Sustainable Chemistry. |

Mélynda Hassouna Rennes University in France, |
After a PhD in fundamental physics and a position as associate professor in the Rennes University in France in the astrochemistry department, Dr Mélynda Hassouna joint the French National Research Institute for Agriculture, Food and Environment (INRAE) in 2002. She joint a research unit (UMR SAS) that focuses on interactions between agriculture and the environment, from the scale of a field or livestock building to that of a watershed or agricultural landscape (of a few thousand hectares). She chose to focus on manure emissions especially in barns and outdoor storage, with the aim of reducing the environmental impact of livestock farming, and of developing reliable methods to quantify these emissions. In recent years, she has broadened her research to include particulate emissions. Since 2002, she has participated to the redaction of more than fifty proposals. By the end of 2023, 30 had been funded. She is involved in several national and international networks and has contributed to the production of reference documents and databases such as the DATAMAN database by the Global Research Alliance (recognized by the IPCC) and recently a document on agricultural methane emissions by the FAO LEAP. Moreover, she has a strong expertise concerning the measurement of ammonia and greenhouse gases manure emissions and published different documents on this topic that are helpful for the scientific community. |
