Dr. Gerardo Ruiz-Mercado
Gerardo J. Ruiz-Mercado is a senior research manager designing sustainable processes, developing methods and tools for nutrient and waste management, supply chains, life cycle inventory and assessment, and bioenergy systems, process design, modeling, and optimization.
He is currently leading and developing U.S. Environmental Protection Agency research projects on decision support methods and tools on evaluating techniques, economics, logistics for the repurposing of primary sources of nutrient pollution and chemical waste, and subsequent ecosystem and human health impacts. Such tools would help to reduce energy/material consumption and environmental impacts and increase the profitability of chemical and energy systems.
