Menta Ballesteros es  Profesora Contratada Doctora del área de Ingeniería Química de la Universidad Pablo de Olavide. Realizó su tesis doctoral “Eliminación de plaguicidas no biodegradables en aguas mediante acoplamiento de fotocatálisis solar y oxidación biológica” en 2008 en la Universidad de Almería. Investiga principalmente en Procesos de Oxidación Avanzada para el tratamiento de aguas. Ha publicado numerosos artículos en revistas de elevado índice de impacto y ha presentado comunicaciones en diversos congresos científicos de ámbito internacional. Colabora en varios proyectos de investigación con la Universidad de Almería, Plataforma Solar de Almería (CIEMAT), Universidad de Valencia y ha realizado estancias de investigación en la Universidad de Aachen, Alemania y en la Universidad Autónoma de Barcelona.

Young researcher, writer and environmentalist, in 2013 Roberto Aguado presented his dissertation –recognized with distinction– to graduate with a Chemical Engineering 5-year degree from the Complutense University of Madrid. In 2015, he completed his 2-year master's degree (Process Engineering). Currently, he is a PhD student in the department of Molecular Biology and Biochemical Engineering at Pablo de Olavide University (Seville). He has enjoyed internships in CEPSA's Research Center, framed in the production of biofuels from lignocellulosics, and in the department of Chemical Engineering at Coimbra University. His research interests include the management of agricultural waste towards fiber-based products and the chemical modifications of cellulose. According to him: 'Some of us would gladly exchange luxury for hope, while many others would give up the world for luxury. With renewable resources, lignocellulosics standing high, we will satisfy them, and let them protect the needs of future generations.' +INFO: https://herenciasostenible.com/
