#proudsupervisor! Congrats Alba, Meri i Laura!

Today, our partner @lequiaudg.bsky.social @univgirona.bsky.social is part of the #ResearchersNight in Girona 🌍. Through @spore-med.bsky.social #PRIMAPartnership we are reimagining wastewater treatment plants — not as the end of the cycle.

We are proud to share that @sebastiapuig.bsky.social, Associate Professor at LEQUIA - @univgirona.bsky.social, has been included in the 2% top world 2025 scientists list published by University of Stanford and Elsevier (for 5 consecutive years)! 💪👏

It was great to be at #ISMET9 together with part of my team! Proud of the work they shared and the discussions we had with the wider community. A warm thank you to Falk & Miriam, and their teams for organizing such an inspiring and well-run @ismetsociety.bsky.social conference.

At #ISMET9 today, #SilviaBolognesi presented microbial electro-methanogenesis (#deCENT), #LauraFeliu shared results on clostridial cocultures, and #PabloBenavides highlighted MES–microalgae for aviation fuels (#ALGAESOL). Great exchanges with the community!

Yesterday at #ISMET9 our group shared new results: #Jorge on critical variables for EtOH prod, #Marco on nitrate reduction, #Alba on microplastic degradation, and I represented #Meritxell on ethanol from CO₂. Great exchanges!

The SPORE-MED consortium gathered for its Work Package Leaders meeting 🧩 A great step to align, share progress & strengthen collaboration across our teams. #PRIMAPartnership

Great seminar today at @lequiaudg.bsky.social with Prof. Julio Andrés Pedraza Avella from Universidad Industrial de Santander (Colombia). He shared insights on ilmenite-based photocatalysts for water decontamination, H₂ production & CO₂ conversion. Thanks for the inspiring talk!

A great example of @lequiaudg.bsky.social & #GemmLab_UdG teamwork in an interdisciplinary project. Kudos for #silvia, #luis_rafael & #Elisabet. Btw, the project video is available at: youtu.be/El1L2UFSif8?...

This week we say goodbye to Amanda Dalalibera, PhD student at UFSC (Brasil), after spending 1 year working on electro bioremediation topics at @lequiaudg.bsky.social @univgirona.bsky.social. We wish her the best in her future endeavors and look forward to continuing our collaboration!

Ahir vam parlar de biocombustibles en el marc del projecte europeu #ALGAESOL que estem realizant al @lequiaudg.bsky.social - @univgirona.bsky.social. Gràcies a @tvgirona.bsky.social per l'espai! Podeu escoltar l'entrevista a: tvgirona.com/capitol/tv_g...

A couple of weeks ago, Laura Feliu defended her PhD: "Better together: electron-directed synergistic interactions in Clostridium co-cultures for improved alcohol prod." It was an honor to co-supervise her with Lluís Banyeras. thanks, Laura, for the journey! Grateful to jury members

Honored to present our work on membrane fermentation & e-microbial protein at the Symposium "Challenges of the Biological Conversion of Residues into Carboxylates". Big thanks to @miguelmauricio.bsky.social auricio & #martacarballa @cretus.usc.gal for the warm welcome and excellent organization.

Amazing days at the 9th European Bioremediation Conference #EBCIX and t the General Assembly of the #Nympheproject (www.nympheproject.eu) in Chania, Crete. Thank you Nicolas KALOGERAKIS, Petroula Seridou and Evi Syranidou for taking such good care of us!!!

What a great pleasure to host #ignacioVargas #uc_chile & #ISMETsociety board member, at our @lequiaudg.bsky.social #GemmLab_UdG these days. We had enriching discussions on biofilms, corrosion & electrochemically active microorganisms in extreme and contaminated environments!

El passat divendres, en el marc de la jornada "Nous reptes en aigua al territori" es varen lliurar els premis 2024 de la @catedraatl.bsky.social, que varen reconèixer tres investigadores del LEQUIA: Afra Estanyol, Gemma Moncusí i Alba Ceballos-Escalera.

Back home after a couple of productive days at the National Network of Microbial Electrochemical Technologies (METs) meeting - ‍Iberimet in beatiful Segovia! It was a fantastic opportunity to connect with fellow researchers, especially early-career scientists.

💧S’ha iniciat la Jornada “Nous Reptes en aigua al territori” a Girona amb la salutació i benvinguda institucional a càrrec: 🔵Hble. Sílvia Paneque de la Generalitat de Catalunya 🔵Dr. Josep Calbó @univgirona.bsky.social 🔵Dr. Hèctor Monclús @catedraaigua.bsky.social 🔵Dra. Clàudia Fontàs Campus Aigua
