Biography
Diana Sánchez from México received her Bsc. in Biology from the Universidad Veracruzana and holds an MSc degree in Renewable Energy from the CICY research center (2009-2011). She was working with the development of a microbial fuel cell for the generation of bioelectricity with synthetic waste water, evaluating the system by electrochemical analysis (CV, EIS) and the characterization of the biofilm an anolyte developed in the anode in different stages of the bio electrochemical system. Currently she is a PhD student in the multidisciplinary program of Tropical Ecology at the CITRO research center belonging to the Universidad Veracruzana in Mexico. Her PhD research topic focuses on the evaluation of the methane generation potential of the sugarcane straw, by the implementation of liquid hot water and enzymes as pretreatment of this biomass. This agricultural waste has no current use and represents a harmful residue to the environment due to the traditional practice of its burning on the fields. She already published one scientific paper awhile other research activities were under review.
