Goals and interests
- Career goal
I have had the great opportunity of working on industry, academia and R&D. I enjoyed my experience with each area, and I look forward to continue growing professionally wherever life may lead. I'm particularly interested in R&D, but I don't disregard engaging in other ventures.

Biomass thermochemical conversion, bioactive compound extraction and purification.
- Outside the classroom
I enjoy watching movies and reading novels. However, my true passion is food; I enjoy trying out new dishes and attempting to "create" some my own in the kitchen.
