Jonathan A. Díaz Baca Email and Phone Number

I am a hands-on researcher with a Ph.D. in Biotechnology from Lakehead University. I am passionate about macromolecular chemistry, biomass, and food research. I have developed strong expertise in my field with over 6 years of experience working on the chemical modification and application of natural polymers such as lignin, cellulose, rubber, and starch. I also hold an MSc. in Food Science and a BSc. in Chemistry.My professional skills include a structured approach with critical and innovative thinking to accomplish solutions to problems and challenges. I am an expert in data collection, processing, and analysis to understand trends and conceptualize results. I can perform research-based projects establishing adequate methodologies and experimental designs independently.My technical competency skills include spectroscopy analysis (NMR, FTIR, XPS, UV-Vis), rheological characterization (Rheometer, QCM-D), thermal analysis (DSC, TGA), material characterization (Tensile strength), light scattering analysis (SLS, DLS), flocculation analysis and wastewater treatment (FBRM, Turbiscan, LUMiSizer) and molecular weight determination (GPC).I am excited to continue learning and growing in my field while sharing my knowledge and expertise with others.
