Chemical Engineer (2018) and Dr. in Chemical engineering (2023) from the University of Concepción (Chile). Fond of molecular simulation techniques and open source. Worked in the CarboCat group with DFT (VASP in HPC) to explore reaction mechanisms in heterogeneous catalysis. 

I am familiar with python, matlab, git and GitHub (check here) for codding, VASP for QM, DLPOLY for MD, office/libreoffice and LaTeX for documents, and krita and blender for audiovisual production (see here). 

Research interest areas: Molecular simulation (DFT, MD, MonteCarlo), Heterogeneous Catalysis, Cluster structures. Scientific open source software.

Preferred teaching areas: Process Dynamics and Control, Reactor design and Transport Phenomena, Organic Chemistry, and Electronic structure and chemical reactivity. 

Currently working on:

• Contribution of COx Methanation routes (article, colaboration project, DFT+MonteCarlo)

• StegoPlot: package for ab-initio molecular thermodynamics, analysis of DFT results, Densities of states and construct reaction energy plots (python module + LaTeX article, check repository here)

• Segregation in bimetallic Ni-Co clusters (DFT-study, VASP)

• Automatization of Koflock mass flow controlers for lab batch experiments (Matlab, repository here)

• 3D modelling of chemical systems and laboratory equipment for pedagogic purposes (side-project, blender)
