Franco Paolucci
@francopaolucci
I optimize pharmaceutical production processes through batch control, cost analysis, and process simulation.
What I'm looking for
I'm currently supporting industrial pharmaceutical production at Provefarma, where I monitor wet granulation batches from mixing and drying through compression.
I design interactive Excel tools for production-stage traceability, batch tracking, and formulation records. I've also compared wet and dry granulation costs across labor, energy use, and standard process times.
For my Chemical Engineering thesis, I'm designing and simulating sorghum-based bioethanol production in UniSim, covering pretreatment, hydrolysis, fermentation, and distillation alongside techno-economic and sustainability evaluation.
I'm completing my Chemical Engineering degree with a Chemical Technician background and am seeking an entry-level plant-based role in food, pharmaceutical, or related industries. I'm available to relocate and bring experience in process engineering, industrial control, laboratory work, and professional English communication.
