Chemical recycling
I hold a BSE in Sustainable Development from Monterrey Institute of Technology and Higher Education (Mexico) and an Honours BE in Environmental Engineering from Monash University (Australia). I obtained my Six Sigma Black Belt certification and the Intellectual Property MX/A/2014/008349 for a hydroponic system while developing as a Health, Safety and Environment Dpt Manager at Procter and Gamble Mexico.
Currently, I am enrolled in MEngSc Water, Waste & Environmental Engineering (23/24) at UCD developing my Research Project in Electrocoagulation for Waste Water Treatment. My empirical analysis is focused on phosphorous removal optimization and sludge generation rates, aiming to pave the way for overcoming current industrial scale-up barriers.
