Personal statement

Chemist and metallurgical engineer with R&D experience within the academia and industry and experience at in the production line. I have a good knowledge of the process and institutional operation, I work equally well in a team as well as independently and I can adapt fast to a new working environment. While working in the industry I had to deal not only with the industrial processes, but also with all the data that the development of a new material/process generates. I am willing to use the knowledge that I have acquired in both fields to improve production lines and products.

Hobbies & Interests

I am involved with a group of tabletop gamers, in which we get together to play strategic board games at least twice a month. I like to learn and play the game in order to explain it to others, as well as play it. I am also interested in sports that are not usual in my country and I am always prone to learn a new sport or game.
