Andrés Fullana Font is a Full Professor of Chemical Engineering at the University of Alicante and a member of the research group "Engineering for the Circular Economy (E4EC)." His PhD thesis (1997-2001) focused on the pyrolysis and combustion of tires and sludge, analyzing contaminants such as PAHs and PCDD/F. He completed a postdoctoral fellowship with a Fulbright scholarship at the University of Dayton, where he studied chlorinated contaminants produced during waste incineration.

Upon his return to Spain, he expanded his research into waste management, including odor elimination, iron nanoparticle applications for water treatment, industrial waste recycling, and energy recovery from agricultural residues. This work has led to the co-invention of nine patents, eight of which are currently being commercialized internationally.

Andrés has also promoted several spinoffs from the University of Alicante that apply his research, including:

FYCH S.L., focused on the mechanical recycling of plastics.
CALPECH S.L., dedicated to producing iron nanoparticles for environmental remediation.
OMIX S.L., which develops fertilizers from agricultural waste through thermal processes.
GCON S.L., specializing in innovative solutions for wastewater reuse.
In addition to his research, Andrés teaches chemical reactor design and has supervised nine doctoral theses and numerous undergraduate theses (TFG) on topics such as circular economy, nanotechnology, and waste management. His dedication to circular economy principles and knowledge transfer has had a significant impact on both academic and industrial sectors.
