I am a young R&D engineer with experience on carbonaceous materials, focused on incorporating sustainable solutions for high-end technological applications. My career started at my home country, Colombia, where I completed a degree on chemical engineering. During my studies I was able to do an academic exchange to France, at the PHELMA school of Grenoble-INP, to strength my skills on electrochemistry. Later on, I stayed in France to pursue my PhD on material science, studying biomass derived carbon materials for batteries. Today, I am part of Verkor, a fast-growing project aiming to produce low carbon footprint Li-ion batteries for the electrical vehicle market.
