About me

During my undergraduate engineering studies, I took part as research student in the Surface Engineering Group at the UTN (Universidad Tecnológica Nacional) in Argentina, where I achieved experience in material sciences field.

Mainly, I have worked carrying out experiments and measurements in stainless steels with surface modification, such as plasma nitriding and coatings deposition by PA-CVD and PVD to improve its properties against wear and corrosion in aggressive environments.

I also spend a semester in Germany during the winter semester 2018/19 at the Technische Universität Ilmenau as exchange student supported by the DAAD & UTN, where I took part in a research group of materials for electrical and electronics engineering and carried out my Diploma in Engineering thesis.

During the scholarship, I conducted FEM simulations of a thermo-electro-mechanical model of in-situ micropillar compression experiments with a commercial software and a thorough literature review.

These experiences let me present two research works at a Meeting of Young Researchers organized by SAM (Argentine Society for Materials) in 2017 and 2019.
