 Oriol Larriba Ruiz (Barcelona, 1991) is degreed in Chemical Engineering (Universitat Autònoma de Barclona, 2015) and MSc in Biological and Environmental Engineering (Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona, 2017). During his MSc he get a collaboration grant (Ministerio de Educación, Cultura y Deporte) in the GENOCOV research group (UAB) where he collaborated in the experimental and monitoring of a MEC pilot plant. He is currently a PhD student in Environmental Science and Technology and his research tries to improve the nutrient recovery efficiency in WWTPs.

Oriol’s current research interests are:

• Enhanced biological phosphorus removal
• SBR systems for simultaneous phosphorous and nitrogen removal and recovery in the main line of WWTPs.
• Recovery of nutrients as struvite.
