Prof. Dr. Cristiano José de Andrade, Graduated in Food Engineering from the Federal University of Lavras (UFLA). Master and PhD in Food Science (concentration area in Biochemistry) from the State University of Campinas (Unicamp). Dr. Andrade realized the Sandwich PhD at the University of Reading (UK), in the United Kingdom. Dr. Andrade completed his post-doctorate at the Polytechnic School of the University of São Paulo (USP), in the Department of Chemical Engineering. He has experience in developing biotechnological processes related to bacteria; and micro and macroalgae, particularly metabolism (proteomics), bioproducts with high surfactant activity, purification processes (membranes and high pressure extraction) and identification of biomolecules by mass spectrometry. He is currently an Adjunct Professor in the Department of Chemical and Food Engineering (EQA) at the Federal University of Santa Catarina (UFSC), and a permanent professor in the Postgraduate Program in Chemical Engineering at UFSC (PósEnq-UFSC). He is a member of the Red Iberoamericana para el Tratamiento de Efluentes con Microalgas (RENUWAL-Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Costa Rica, Spain, Mexico, Portugal). He is coordinator of PRH 11.1-Sustainable Energy Development in the Oil, Gas and Biofuels Sector, promoted by the ANP (National Agency for Petroleum, Natural Gas and Biofuels). He is a CNPq productivity researcher 2E-Engenharias II-Chemical Engineering.
