PhD Candidate
Rochester Institute of Technology
PhD in Sustainibilty, Plasticulture, Biochar Expert
I am a french-colombian Mechanical Engineer and Physicist with a History minor from Los Andes University in Bogota, Colombia. I recently finished my PhD in Sustainability at Rochester Institute of Technology, Rochester, NY, USA. Now, I co-founded Cinterest, a product development company where we research and develop low embodied carbon industrial products (plastics, construction, etc).My research focused on sustainable agriculture, more particularly in sustainable mulching films. I produce my samples on an industrial-like instruments to fast track its use. Other big research interests are biochar production, characterization, and applications, as well as techno-economic analysis of these technologies at different scales.I look to contribute and impact as many people and places as I encounter. My path is also product of the social difficulties Colombia lives right now, motivating me and allowing me to help with a small grain of sand.The interdisciplinary background, with my language and communication abilities that I have encourages me to learn more, help more and do more for the society that I believe is better when we work together
