Daniel Gutierrez Barragan

Trained Scientist (Neuroscience), Physicist, Mechanical Engineer. Recognized for leading state-of-the-art research and development projects, my work has been validated through high-impact publications, research grants (including a EU Horizons Marie Curie Global Fellowship), and international prices. As a o-founder of Charpie S.R.L., I am currently developing a novel network of agricultural uses of Biochar and other agro-residual valorization pathways to empower farmers and agritech stakeholders, while providing tangible and scalable carbon-dioxide removal actions.

My free time is mostly spent by the sea side, under or on the water, either governing or being pulled by a boat. I collect, disarm and repair musical instruments, and volunteers in agroforestry projects in the Pisa area.
