Chemical Engineer with a doctorate in Chemical Engineering from the National University of Colombia. My field of research has been directed to the production and evaluation of microcarriers from different biopolymers, which can be used for the culture of anchor-dependent cells in spinner-type reactors. Additionally, I have been working on obtaining polymeric materials from used cooking oil, with a view to giving added value to the oil and that it may have a purpose as a raw material and not as a contaminant.
