Kiara Alejandra Garcia Bustos

My research focused on bioprocesses such as the production of ethanol, polymers, pigments, and enzymes, as well as food science, particularly in phenolic compounds, antioxidants, and food processing. In recent years, I also worked in the environmental field, applying biotechnological processes such as the use of microalgae for water purification, Fenton processes, and hydrodynamic cavitation. I published in high-impact international journals, contributed book chapters, and held patents. In addition to my research activities, I had university-level teaching experience and served as the head of the Wastewater Treatment Plant at the Universidad Católica de Santa María. I was also involved in scientific communication, delivering research training courses for faculty and students from various universities. (Fonte: Currículo Lattes)
