BSc in Chemical Engineering (Universidad del Valle, Colombia), MSc and PhD in Metallurgical Engineering at Federal University of Rio de Janeiro (COPPE/UFRJ, Brazil).

Research Assistant at the Advanced Mineral Processing Research Group (AMPRG) in the period 2019-2020, as part of the Horizon 2020 project IMPaCT. I am currently collaborating with Dr Pablo Brito-Parada as Honorary Research Associate in the Department of Earth Science and Engineering (ESE).

My current research addresses sustainability aspects in the minerals industry by integrating process simulation and Life Cycle Assessment methodologies. I have broad experience in research projects developed with mining companies involving different commodities such as iron ore, aggregates, lead and antimony ores.

I am particularly interested in developing hybrid approaches based on process/systems modelling and life cycle thinking towards a more sustainable supply of primary and secondary raw materials.

I am the spokesperson from the ESE Department and Steering Committee member of Imperial Network of Excellence in Sustainability through Life Cycle Approaches.
