Post-doctoral researcher in Solid Waste Management group
Dr. Daniela Peguero received her BSc. in Civil Engineering in May 2013 from the Florida State University, United States. Upon graduation, she worked for an agricultural project based in Sierra Leone as an Environmental Consultant. Following Sierra Leone, she worked for a U.S. engineering firm, Intertek (formerly Professional Service Industries) based in Miami, Florida where she managed environmental assessment projects.
In December 2018, she then obtained her MSc. degree in Civil and Environmental Engineering from the University of California, Davis, U.S. Her Master’s thesis research was conducted in Durban, South Africa and evaluated heat-treatment of fecal sludge the viscous heater, as well as assessing the development of black soldier fly larvae on untreated fecal sludge compared to heat treated sludge.
Following her Master’s, she was awarded a Fulbright Scholarship (2018-2019) to continue her research in South Africa. During her Fulbright, her research concentrated more specifically on the rearing of black soldier fly larvae on varying types of organic waste and sanitation waste streams to best optimize black soldier fly larvae production. Upon completing her Fulbright, she worked on a short-term project in northern Haiti with the organization, Sustainable Organic Integrated Livelihoods (SOIL) at SOIL’s waste treatment site to assess the potential use of BSFL as an additional process to composting.
In October 2023, she obtained her Dr. Sc in Food Science with the Sustainable Food Processing Laboratory at ETH Zurich, Switzerland in collaboration with Sandec/Eawag. Her doctoral research focused on pretreatments for improving black soldier fly larvae performance on low-value high fiber biowastes.
