As a professional engineer with more than four decades of experience, Mr. Garcia-Mallol has cultivated his expertise in fuels and power generation. Five years ago, he retired from a 36-year career with Foster Wheeler AG, a global engineering and construction contractor and power equipment supplier.

Additionally, he has been published in various venues and recognized at numerous seminars, including ENDESA and Technical University of Nova Scotia, Power-Generation International Conference, International Pittsburgh Coal Conference, Mining and Metallurgy International Congress, and Air Pollution Control Association Annual Meeting. Dr. Garcia-Mallol also received formal recognition for scientific activity and creative attitude in the research field from the University of Antioquia in Colombia.

Dr. Garcia-Mallol attributes his success to the motivation he received from his parents, particularly his father, who encouraged him to receive as much education as possible.

He also earned a Master of Science in mining engineering from the same university. Furthermore, Dr. Garcia-Mallol is a registered professional engineer and certified European engineer.
