Juan Cárdenas is a doctoral student of the Autonomous University of San Luis Potosi. His studies and research involving microbiology and biotechnology in different areas, for example, soil and wastewaters. He earned his degree in the Faculty of Chemical Science in 2004, where began his introduction to environmental remediation in the laboratory of experimental micology in the Faculty of Chemical Science in Autonomous University of San Luis Potosi. He held a Master degree in Bioprocess in the same faculty, in 2007-2009. He is currently pursuing the doctoral studies in Engineering and Materials Science, which belong at Faculty of Science in Autonomous University of San Luis Potosi with the topic “Physical-chemical study of the Chromate reductase enzyme present in the environmental fungus Paecilomyces sp.”
His research is based on the elimination of heavy metals, herbicides, pesticides, oil and some other pollutants, using different natural biomasses, like Citrus ReticulataShell, Citrus Limonium Shell, Litchi ChinensisSonn Peel, TamarindusIndica Shell, and some others natural biomasses. He also works with different fungal biomass likePaecilomycessp, Fusariumsolani, Aspergillusniger, Penicilliumsp, Candida albicans, Aureobasidiumpullulans.
He and his working group has published many articles and book chapters in different research journals nationally and internationally, in addition to presenting their work at various conferences.
