Stefan has a master degree in biology from the University of Sofia, Bulgaria. For some years, he had worked for the Institute of Botany, Bulgarian Academy of Science as a researcher. His research interests have been focused on the biodiversity protection; National parks management and planning; applied statistics.
Stefan obtained his PhD in analytical chemistry from the University of Barcelona as a chemometrician (applied statistics in chemistry) under the supervision of Dr. Roma Tauler. He has started as a researcher in Instituto de Diagnóstico Ambiental y Estudios del Agua –CSIC on a part –time contract. The focus of his recent research is on the improvement of water quality (drinking and residual) ; environmental protection by application of multivariate analysis of data. As a second line of investigation, his research is focused on the food quality control by means of multivariate analysis and applying predictive models.
His professional R+D activities rely on scientific consultancy for projects targeting different objectives with companies and public institutions such as ICRA (Girona), AGBAR and Cetaqua (Grupo SUEZ).
FIRE-RES
Innovative technologies and socio-ecological-economic solutions for fire resilient territories in Europe
Extreme wildfire events (EWE) are becoming a major environmental, economic and social threat in Southern Europe and increasingly gaining importance elsewhere in Europe. As the limits of fire suppression-centered strategies become evident, practitioners, researchers and policymakers increasingly recognise the need to develop novel approaches that shift emphasis to the root causes and impacts of EWE, moving towards preventive landscape and community management for greater resilience. FIRE-RES integrates existing research, technology, civil protection, policy and governance spheres related to wildfires to innovate processes, methods and tools to effectively promote the implementation of a more holistic fire management approach and support the transition towards more resilient landscapes and communities to EWE.
