Chemical Engineer Researcher | Sustainability, Scientific Writing & Process Improvement

Profile Summary

I am a bilingual Chemical Engineer (English/Spanish) with a strong background in sustainability, waste management, and scientific research. My expertise includes process simulation using Aspen Plus/HYSYS, data analysis with Python and Excel, and the transformation of technical findings into clear, professional scientific reports. I provide support in: -Process simulation and optimization (Aspen Plus, Aspen HYSYS) -Data analysis and visualization (Python: pandas, matplotlib; Excel) -Scientific writing (articles, research papers, technical reports, literature review) -Sustainable process design and waste valorization (LCA analysis, cleaning systems, waste valorization) -Technical translation and bilingual documentation (EN - ES) I was awarded two competitive European fellowships: an Erasmus Mundus scholarship for my Master’s degree and a Marie Skłodowska-Curie Fellowship (MSCA) for my current PhD. I also offer guidance for researchers and students preparing applications for scholarships, grants, or academic positions.
