I am a Chemical Engineer and I enjoy designing processes for a more sustainable future. Process models and simulations are a great tool to do that because they allow me to look at the small scale and phenomena involved without loosing sight of the big picture (spoiler alert: it is usually the $$$). I also love process design and simulation because it never gets boring, there are so many possible processes and products out there! I have been working with sustainable processes to obtain products from renewable feedstocks, such as sugarcane from the ethanol and sugar industries.PROCESS DESIGN AND ANALYSISBiorefineries for the sustainable production of ethanol, lactic acid, and glycols.Design of reaction, distillation, and extraction processes.Simulation of intensified processes (reactive distillation).Techno-economic analysis of process configurations: CAPEX, OPEX, and MSP.Process optimization based on economic parameters.PROCESS SIMULATIONExperience with the Aspen Plus environment and kinetics modeling in Matlab.Programming Fortran user models for distillation simulation in Aspen Plus.Implementation of custom chemical compounds.Experience with microalgae growth kinetics modeling for bioreactor design.Experience with kinetic model development for heterogeneous reactions.RESEARCH EXPERIENCEScientific and intellectual property research for process design.Collaboration with research projects at the University of Campinas.Publication of peer-reviewed articles in prestigious journals such as ACS Sustainable Chemistry & Engineering and Green Chemistry.INTERNATIONAL EXPERIENCEAcademic Exchange program in the United Kingdom.Participation in research projects.Academic writing and communication skills in English courses.VOLUNTEERINGProject Coordination and Board Member at Enactus Unicamp (2016-2018).English teaching for vulnerable children at NGO Infância-Ação (2014-2015).
