Researcher biography

Mario Jr Rebosura received his Bachelor of Science in Chemical Engineering (2009) from the University of the Philippines Los Banos and his Masters of Engineering in Environmental Engineering (2012) from the Catholic University of Korea. After his Masters he has worked in the process automation, process engineering, and project management for several years. He received his PhD in Chemical Engineering (2020) from the University of Queensland under the Australian Centre for Water and Environmental Biotechnology (formerly AWMC) and is currently a postdoctoral research fellow in the same centre.

Mario's expertise involves the areas of integrated urban water management, anaerobic technologies, and resource recovery. His goal is to produce high impact research that combines fundamental and engineering knowledge to produce scientific discoveries that can translate to real life applications. He has published several top-tiered peer-reviewed international journal papers. He also serves as an Editor for International Research Journal on Innovations in Engineering, Science and Technology published by the Batangas State University Philippines and a reviewer for several international journals. His research was also presented in many international conferences that lead to speaking invitation and organising workshops.
