Solubility of polyethylenes in different solvents

I had the opportunity to work on a recent project: "Study on Gas Permeation and CO2 Separation through Ionic Liquid Based Membranes". Development of different techniques for the study of ionic liquids has been pursued. I was able to learn some synthesis techniques and separation processes and also use different chemical analysis equipment in the lab. I acquired a great taste for projects with a Futuristic Vision of Technology.

I acquired experience on the Production & Quality Engineering department. I was mainly involved in drafting and updating the control plans for 3 different processes: cataphoresis, epoxy and cleaning techniques. I also interacted with technicians and train them in order to review and maintaining the project document as per the company standard using excel software.

I worked in the Chemical Synthesis sector specifically in a chemical kinetics area of a catalytic hydrogenation reaction. I acquired knowledge about the manufacturing process, particularly about the unit operations, extraction, filtration, dryer and distillation. I was responsible to analyze and interpret data regarding the conversion of the reaction, generation of unknown impurities and other variables on the process, in order to find solutions to problems, under the direction of engineers, so that improve chemical processes in an efficient way.

Having responsibility for organizing a speech’s programme, workshops, visits to chemical industries, open laboratories in IST and summer internships in order to help our chemical engineer students. Communication, organization and cooperation skills acquired.

The main responsibilities were: contact different companies, elaboration of a sponsorship tables, raise new and innovative ideas and activities planning. I was able to develop soft skills such as: creative thinking, teamwork, inter-personal skills, cooperation, oral and written communication skills.
