    Trenutno obna\u0161am du\u017enost izvanrednog profesora na Sveu\u010dili\u0161tu u Sevilli, gdje predajem u podru\u010dju bioelektronike i vodim projekte koji spajaju tehni\u010dku u\u010dinkovitost i zdravlje. <\/span><\/p>

    Moja 25-godi\u0161nja karijera izgradila se u sektoru biomedicinskog in\u017eenjerstva. Prije nekog vremena odlu\u010dio sam svu tu tehni\u010dku stru\u010dnost usmjeriti u podru\u010dje zelene tehnologije, u kojem radim posljednjih pet godina.<\/span><\/p>

    Moja primarna motivacija za ovu promjenu bila je uvjerenje da je zdravlje ljudi neodvojivo od zdravlja planeta; nakon desetlje\u0107a dizajniranja rje\u0161enja za ljudsko tijelo, osjetila sam vitalnu odgovornost primijeniti iste te principe preciznog in\u017eenjerstva kako bih za\u0161titila i obnovila na\u0161 prirodni okoli\u0161, stvaraju\u0107i projekte za\u0161tite okoli\u0161a.<\/span><\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

    • Koji su bili va\u0161i glavni osobni ili profesionalni izazovi?<\/span><\/li>
    • Kako su oni utjecali na va\u0161 profesionalni razvoj?\u00a0<\/span><\/li><\/ul>

      \u00a0<\/p>

      Tijekom moje 25-godi\u0161nje karijere, moji glavni izazovi proiza\u0161li su iz stalne potrebe za balansiranjem akademske strogosti s agilno\u0161\u0107u koja je potrebna za prijenos tehnologije u proizvodni sektor.<\/span><\/p>

      Profesionalno, prilagoditi dugoro\u010dne istra\u017eiva\u010dke procese kako bi zadovoljili neposredne tr\u017ei\u0161ne zahtjeve bila je slo\u017eena kulturna barijera koju je trebalo prevladati; na osobnoj razini, izazov je le\u017eao u odr\u017eavanju pedago\u0161ke relevantnosti usred generacijske smjene studenata.<\/span><\/p>

      Ovi izazovi nisu samo oja\u010dali moju otpornost, ve\u0107 su bili pravi pokreta\u010di mog rasta: prisilili su me da iskora\u010dim iz laboratorija i u\u010dionice kako bih postao pokreta\u010d promjena, razvijaju\u0107i cjelovitu viziju koja mi sada omogu\u0107uje da premostim teorijsko znanje s rje\u0161enjima iz stvarnog svijeta koja ostvaruju opipljiv utjecaj na dru\u0161tvo.<\/span><\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

      • Kako ste prevladali ove pote\u0161ko\u0107e i izazove?<\/span><\/li>
      • Koje su vam radnje, strategije ili vje\u0161tine pomogle preuzeti ove prepreke?<\/span><\/li>
      • Jeste li imali mentora, alat ili mre\u017eu kontakata koja vam je pru\u017eala podr\u0161ku?\u00a0<\/span><\/li>
      • \u00a0<\/li><\/ul>

        Tijekom tog razdoblja nastojao\/la se ne ograni\u010diti na ulogu akademicika; umjesto toga, aktivno sam se educirao\/la o upravljanju projektima i intelektualnom vlasni\u0161tvu \u2013 vje\u0161tinama koje su mi omogu\u0107ile da \u2018prevedem\u2019 znanstveni jezik u odr\u017eive ciljeve. <\/span><\/p>

        Klju\u010d je bio u pomicanju s modela jednosmjerne komunikacije na model aktivnog slu\u0161anja i sukreiranja, uspostavljanjem izravnih mostova izme\u0111u u\u010dionice, laboratorija i industrije.<\/span><\/p>

        U tom je procesu moja profesionalna mre\u017ea bila temeljni stup; sudjelovanje u me\u0111unarodnim konzorcijima i mre\u017eama za prijenos pru\u017eilo mi je globalnu perspektivu. <\/span><\/p>

        Nadalje, imao sam koristi od vodstva klju\u010dnog mentora na po\u010detku svoje karijere \u2013 pionira u prijenosu tehnologije \u2013 koji me nau\u010dio da znanje stvara stvarnu vrijednost samo kada se dijeli i primjenjuje. Ova kombinacija kontinuirane obuke, strate\u0161kog mentorstva i solidne mre\u017ee podr\u0161ke pretvorila je po\u010detne prepreke u konkurentsku prednost, omogu\u0107uju\u0107i mi da vodim prijenos znanja s autoritetom i empatijom.<\/span><\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

          Projekti koji su mi bili najisplativiji jesu oni u kojima smo rezultate mogli izravno primijeniti na stvarne pacijente, ostvaruju\u0107i opipljivo pobolj\u0161anje njihove kvalitete \u017eivota. <\/span><\/p>

          Nadalje su mi ovi projekti omogu\u0107ili da razvijem dodatne vje\u0161tine upravljanja i prijenosa znanja koje sam uspio prenijeti u u\u010dionicu. Kao rezultat ovih napora, 10 sam godina slu\u017eio kao \u010dlan osniva\u010dkog odbora sveu\u010dili\u0161nog *spin-off* poduze\u0107a (EBT) koje je primilo zna\u010dajne nagrade, uklju\u010duju\u0107i Nagradu za najbolju poslovnu inicijativu Sveu\u010dili\u0161ta u Sevilli.<\/span><\/p>

          Moj doprinos zelenoj tehnologiji ogleda se u primjeni pristupa kru\u017enog \u017eivotnog ciklusa na svaku inovaciju koju razvijam; ne samo da dizajniram u\u010dinkovita rje\u0161enja, ve\u0107 i optimiziram prijenos biotehnolo\u0161kih procesa kako bih smanjio industrijski uglji\u010dni otisak, pretvaraju\u0107i otpad u resurs visoke vrijednosti.<\/span><\/p>

            Maria Mar Elena Perez Professional Background Briefly describe your professional career until today:\u00a0 What is your current position?\u00a0 How long have you been working in the green tech sectors? What motivated you to enter this sector?\u00a0 \u00a0 I currently hold the position of Associate Professor at the University of Seville, where I lecture in the field of Bioelectronics and lead projects that merge technical efficiency with health. My 25-year career has been established in the biomedical engineering sector. Some time ago, I decided to channel all that technical expertise into the field of green technology, where I have been working for the last five years. My primary motivation for making this change was the conviction that human health is inseparable from the health of the planet; after decades of designing solutions for the human body, I felt a vital responsibility to apply those same principles of precision engineering to protect and restore our natural environment, creating Environmental Health projects. Challenges Faced Describe your perceived main obstacles and challenges in your professional career. Which were your main personal or professional challenges? How did those affect your professional development?\u00a0 \u00a0 Throughout my 25-year career, my primary challenges have stemmed from the constant need to balance academic rigour with the agility required for technology transfer to the productive sector. Professionally, adapting long-term research processes to meet immediate market demands was a complex cultural barrier to overcome; on a personal dimmension, the challenge lay in maintaining pedagogical relevance amidst the generational shift of students. These challenges not only strengthened my resilience but were the true drivers of my growth: they compelled me to step out of the laboratory and the classroom to become a driver of change, developing a holistic vision that now enables me to bridge theoretical knowledge with real-world solutions that make a tangible impact on society. Strategies & Solutions How did you overcome these difficulties and challenges? What actions, strategies or skills have helped you overcome these obstacles? Did you have any mentor, tool or contacts network to support you?\u00a0 \u00a0 During this period, I sought not to limit myself to being an academic; instead, I actively trained in project management and intellectual property\u2014skills that have enabled me to ‘translate’ scientific language into viable objectives. The key was moving from a one-way communication model to one of active listening and co-creation, establishing direct bridges between the classroom, the laboratory, and industry. In this process, my professional network was a fundamental pillar; participating in international consortia and transfer networks provided me with a global perspective. Furthermore, I benefited from the guidance of a key mentor in my early career\u2014a pioneer in technology transfer\u2014who taught me that knowledge only generates real value when it is shared and applied. This combination of continuous training, strategic mentoring, and a solid support network transformed initial barriers into a competitive advantage, enabling me to lead knowledge transfer with both authority and empathy. Achievements & Impact Highlight your main achievements and contributions What projects or initiatives do you feel more proud of?\u00a0 Were you awarded any recognition or award?\u00a0 How does your work contribute to sustainability or innovation in green tech sectors?\u00a0 \u00a0 The projects that have been most rewarding for me are those where we have been able to directly apply the results to actual patients, achieving a tangible improvement in their quality of life. Furthermore, these projects have allowed me to develop additional management and knowledge transfer skills that I have been able to bring into the classroom. As a result of these efforts, I served for 10 years as a member of the founding board of a university spin-off (EBT) which received significant awards, including the Award for Best Business Initiative from the University of Seville. My contribution to green technology is reflected in the application of a circular life cycle approach to every innovation I develop; I not only design efficient solutions but also optimise the transfer of biotechnological processes to reduce the industrial carbon footprint, transforming waste into high-value resources. My work acts as a catalyst for sustainability by integrating the precision of biomedical engineering with environmental regeneration; this enables me to lead the creation of systems that are both economically viable and ecologically responsible. Ultimately, my work seeks to innovate not only in ‘what’ we do, but in ‘how’ we do it, ensuring that every technological advancement is a firm step towards net zero and ecosystem resilience. Advice & Takeaways Some advice to next and aspiring professionals. What advice would you give to someone starting out in the green technology sector?\u00a0 What have you learned throughout your professional career that you would like others to know? \u00a0 My advice is to cultivate a lifelong learning mindset and strategic patience: sustainability is not a fad, but a profound re-engineering of our society that requires both rigour and time. I have also learned that for true success, a multidisciplinary team is essential.<\/p>","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"elementor_canvas","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_uf_show_specific_survey":0,"_uf_disable_surveys":false,"neve_meta_sidebar":"","neve_meta_container":"","neve_meta_enable_content_width":"","neve_meta_content_width":0,"neve_meta_title_alignment":"","neve_meta_author_avatar":"","neve_post_elements_order":"","neve_meta_disable_header":"","neve_meta_disable_footer":"","neve_meta_disable_title":"","footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-1362","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"aioseo_notices":[],"aioseo_head":"\n\t\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t
