In the Consejo Superior de Investigaciones Cientificas (CSIC, Spain), she presented her Master work in 1981 and PhD in 1983 on the characterization of surfaces. Then she worked with a CSIC grant in England and Belgium till 1987. From 1987 till 1991, she was awarded a fellowship IA from the UK´s Scientific Engineering Research Council and from 1992 she is permanent research staff of the CSIC.

Nowadays she carries out studies in the search for more sustainable materials and chemical processes based on preparing value added substances and materials from agriresidues, of outmost importance in less developed countries.

Prof. Dr Muhammad Rusdy is animal scientist holding Doctor in Pasture Agronomy from Faculty of Agriculture Kyushu University, Japan. He is Full Professor in the Department of Forage Science and Grassland Management Faculty of Animal Science Hasanuddin University, Indonesia. He has published about 60 articles both in peer review domestic and international journals. Due to scarcity of feed in Indonesia, he has interested to study the establishment and growth of high potential forage that suitable to be developed in Indonesia. He also has interested to study the use of agricultural wastes as ruminant feed. and had published a book on it entitled Straw as an Alternative Feed for Ruminants and had presented his paper entitled Banana Wastes as Ruminant Feed in Recycling Expo that was held in Rome, July 2017. He has acted as reviewer for many journals, both indexed and non-indexed in Scopus.
