Liaise with multidisciplinary teams to develop and scale up additive manufacturing processes for photopolymer resins. Key achievements include the successful qualification and optimization of 5 resins for their use in industrial-scale DLP 3D printers.Collaborate in defining and designing processing unit operations, as well as authoring SOPs, resulting in 20%-90% throughput improvements across stages such as photopolymerization, mixing and agitation, evaporation, crosslinking, foaming, and annealing.Conduct research and develop statistical and mechanistic models to optimize products and processes, reducing product development time by two weeks, minimizing variability in critical-to-quality indicators, and improving mechanical properties by 10-30%.Led initiatives to enhance productivity and sustainability, reducing rework rates by approximately 90%, extending wash solvent lifetime by a factor of five and increasing solvent recovery yield from 0% to 90% through solid-liquid separation and distillation processes.

Developed project-based, in-person, and e-learning instructional methods for the courses Fluids Mechanics and Drilling Engineering, leading to approximately 80% of the students enrolling in the more advanced course taught by me.Mentored students in the use of coding to tackle complex problems found in the oilfield, in order to help them stand out in this competitive industry. Improved course materials by integrating real-case scenarios, real data and over 8 years of personal hands-on experience in the oilfield.

Supported drilling operations by formulating, compounding, and testing drilling fluids (slurries, dispersions, suspensions) valued at $100,000 to $2 million. Contributed to over 80 projects with a success rate exceeding 95%. Managed operations with strong attention to detail and problem-solving skills while adhering to QHSE standards, safeguarding assets worth up to $10 million, and coordinating cross-functional teams.Assessed and managed fluid properties, pumps, solid-liquid separation equipment (screeners, hydrocyclones, centrifugal decanters), drilling parameters and hydraulics leading to more than 85% of projects succeeding without severe circulation losses, fewer than 10% requiring well-control operations, having stuck pipe incidents, or needing sidetracks.Broad experience working with water-based drilling fluids systems and the full range of products for shale inhibition (amine-based, polymer-based), filtration control (polyanionic cellulose, sodium polyacrylate, starch, carboxymethyl cellulose) and shale stabilizers (asphalt, graphite), among others.

Drilling fluids dewatering and wastewater treatment by physical and chemical methods.
