Universidad de Concepción
Product Formulation Researcher
November 2016 - March 2017
Concepción, Chile
Description:
From the fortunate results from my thesis work, a new phase of application study was proposed. As a new graduate, I was the lead researcher on the formulation of intumescent Polyurethane for different types of applications (paint, foam, spray)
Universidad de Concepción
Undergraduate Research Assistant
March 2016 - August 2016
Concepción, Chile
Description:
While working on my thesis for the formulation of intumescent Polyurethane for covering applications, I accidentally discovered an easy way to produce Polyurethane to be applied as a foam maintaining the properties of interest. My university decided to hire me to work on this project parallel to my thesis work
