Master’s Student in Chemical Engineering
Joined the lab: January 2026
Education:
- B.Sc. in Chemical Engineering, Universidad del Atlántico, Barranquilla, Colombia (2015-2024)
Research Interests:
Chemical Engineer with experience in quality control, chemical analysis, and process optimization. Throughout my education and professional career, I have actively contributed to the improvement of industrial and laboratory processes, working from formulation through the final product, with a strong focus on efficiency, sustainability, and compliance with quality standards.
I am currently working in research, focused on the cultivation of HEK293T cells in bioreactors for the production and isolation of extracellular vesicles (EVs). My work centers on the design and control of scalable cell culture systems, integrating principles of process engineering, biotechnology, and experimental analysis for advanced research and biomanufacturing applications.
