Ana Gonzalez Hernandez

Emerson

Resource Efficiency Consultant & Commercialization Manager

Ana Gonzalez Hernandez is a Resource Efficiency Consultant with Emerson Automation Solutions. Her role involves the commercialization of the research she developed during her PhD at the University of Cambridge, which was sponsored by Emerson. Dr. Gonzalez Hernandez researched important steps in facilitating a holistic analysis of the resource efficiency of energy-intensive industries (steel or chemical producers)—a development that is key to preparing the sector for the forthcoming low-carbon era. She developed tools that extract large amounts of data collected from sensors and transform this into key management knowledge that helps plant managers make better-informed decisions. Her research revealed headroom for potential resource-efficiency improvements, which could have a major impact on how these energy-intensive industries affect the global consumption and emission systems While at Cambridge, she took on a leading role in the execution and design of science policy workshops for Cambridge University Science Policy Exchange (CUSPE) to bring policy makers and academics together. Dr. Gonzalez Hernandez graduated with first-class honors in mechanical engineering from Imperial College London and received her PhD while on the Resource Efficiency Collective research team at the University of Cambridge.
