Passionate chemical engineer focused on sustainable bioprocess research.
What I'm looking for
I am a Chemical Engineer dedicated to innovative research in bioprocesses and the sustainable utilization of plant waste. My goal is to create valuable products for the pharmaceutical, food, and cosmetic industries. Recently, I have concentrated my research efforts on essential oil extraction and fermentation processes.
With a Summa Cum Laude distinction from Universidad Rafael Urdaneta, I have developed a strong foundation in both theoretical and practical aspects of chemical engineering. My thesis focused on formulating and characterizing a perfume produced from waste plant material, showcasing my commitment to sustainability and innovation.
In my professional experience, I have worked as a Laboratory Assistant, where I conducted physical-chemical and microbiological analyses of food and water samples. I have also served as an Academic Preparator, coordinating and teaching extra classes in Mathematics for engineering students, which has honed my communication and leadership skills.
