Biography

A postdoctoral fellow in the Research and Innovation Center on CO2 and Hydrogen (RICH) and part of the computational modelling group under Prof. Lourdes F. Vega.

He holds a PhD in Engineering in Chemical Engineering under the supervision of Prof. L.F. Vega, with 3+ years of professional experience in Research, Innovation, and Academia the Middle-East.

Strong background in multiscale modeling frameworks (from micro-scale thermodynamics to industry-scale technical, economic, and environmental modeling) for sustainable processes and systems focused on CO2 capture, hydrogen production and transmission, and alternative refrigeration systems. Solid background in micro-scale thermodynamic modeling using advanced molecular equations of state, for novel material development, applied to solvents for CO2 capture, and alternative refrigerants.
