 Research

I explore the development circular models of production of consumption of critical materials is a crucial step towards the achievement of a long-term sustainable development paradigm. My areas of research and expertise include:

• • Modelling and optimization of supply chain networks

  • Modelling and optimization of physicochemical processes

  • Multiple Criteria Decision Analysis/Aiding (MCDA)

  • Techno-economic analysis (TEA) and material flow analysis (MFA)

Free software for Sustainable Engineering

Nowadays the use of software in essential for many applications, from scientific and technical calculations to the design of presentations and preparation of documents. Currently, there are both free and proprietary alternatives to address the different tasks and challenges of the Chemical Engineering field. However Free Software is developed under political and ethical principles which promotes the expand of the open access knowledge, making scientific research more visible and accessible.

About me

I am currently a postdoctoral fellow at the Department of Mining and Materials Engineering of McGill University under the mentorship of Prof. Sidney Omelon.

My current line of research is focused on the development of a circular model for use, recovery and recycling of phosphorus,  and on the decarbonization of wastewater treatment processes. My research is oriented to the study of these processes at different scales, from the selection of the most suitable technology to the design of policies to promote the transition towards a sustainable and fair paradigm for human development.
