JOSÉ OSORIO-TEJADA is an Assistant Professor at the School of Engineering, University of Warwick. He investigates the life cycle impacts of fertilisers and other chemicals produced in plasma reactors powered by renewable energy, within the ERC Synergy Grant-funded SCOPE project supported by the European Commission. He also leads the sustainability assessment in the Horizon Europe project OPeraTIC, which develops laser-based technologies for green manufacturing. His work focuses on creating a life-cycle framework to evaluate the environmental, economic, and social impacts of ultra-short-pulsed laser processes across four industrial testbeds: Home Appliances, Aeronautics, Automotive, and Lighting.

Dr Osorio-Tejada earned his BEng in Industrial Engineering from the Universidad Tecnológica de Pereira (Colombia) in 2009. After four years of experience in the automotive industry, he was awarded the Fundación Carolina scholarship in 2012 to pursue an MSc in Energy Technologies for Sustainable Development at the Universitat Politècnica de València. He completed his PhD at the Universidad de Zaragoza in 2018, focusing on the life cycle assessment of road freight transport and alternative fuels. He later worked as a researcher and lecturer at the Universidad Tecnológica de Pereira before joining the University of Warwick.

Main research interests: Environmental Life Cycle Assessment (LCA), Social Life Cycle Assessment (S-LCA), Techno-Economic Analysis (TEA), Circular Economy, Green Fertilisers, Sustainable Freight Transport, Alternative Fuels, Renewable Energy and Green Hydrogen, Electrochemical and Plasma-assisted chemicals production.
