Bio and research interests
Rosario Vidal (B.S.c in Industrial Technical Engineering with a specialization in Chemistry (1990), graduating at the top of her class, M.S.c. in Industrial Engineering with a specialization in Mechanical (1993); PhD degree (1996), both from Universitat Politècnica de València). She is Full Professor of Engineering Projects at the Universitat Jaume I since February 1, 2009, through the national qualification process. Since September 1993, she hold various professorship positions at the same university. For a period of three years, she served as the academic coordinator of the INCREA Chair, which aimed to promote innovation and creativity at Jaume I University. Her teaching areas include Ecodesign, Engineering Projects and Design Methodologies. She has supervised sixteen doctoral tesis. She conducted research stays at the Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA, US), Cranfield University (UK) and the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL, US) and Tampere University (Finland). Rosario Vidal's main research focus is environmental assessment using life cycle analysis methodology. She has successfully applied these methodologies across various sectors while advocating for creative solutions and high scientific standards to enhance environmental assessment processes and propose truly sustainable alternatives. Much of her early-stage research centered on emerging materials and technologies while drawing from interdisciplinary expertise such as industrial scaling simulations, scenario analysis models, pollutant fate prediction, chemical synthesis techniques, probability models and multi-criteria decision-making approaches. Over time Rosario Vidal expanded her research scope from environmental assessment to sustainability assessment by analyzing social impacts during product life cycles along with exploring concepts like circular economy and criticality of raw materials.
