Biography
Francisco Rubio was born in 1986 in Durango, México. With a background in civil engineering, Francisco gained work experience in different companies and projects throughout México and abroad. He decided to obtain further education in the field of Waste Water treatment and started his MSc in Municipal Water and Infrastructure, specialization Sanitary Engineering at UNESCO-IHE in October 2011, where he graduated with distinction in April 2013. His research focus was on the recovery of nitrogen and phosphorous (as Struvite) from waste streams, using affordable sources of magnesium such as Seawater.
