Head of the Doctorate Program in Engineering and Sciences with Industry
Civil chemical engineer from the Federico Santa María Technical University in Valparaíso, Chile, where he worked on measuring the solubility of solids in supercritical CO2 in the presence of cosolvents. He subsequently earned his PhD from the University of Notre Dame. At that institution, his work focused on recovering organic solvents from ionic liquids using CO2 under moderate pressure. Finally, he served as a postdoctoral researcher in the Thermodynamics Laboratory at TU Dortmund, Germany, where he specialized in applying the PC-SAFT equation of state to model phase equilibria of complex mixtures and the kinetics of bioreactions.
