PROFESSIONAL PROFILE
Ph.D. in Mechanical Engineering and Computer Science-Bioengineering developed the Polymers adhesives results in dental restoration, improvement of 50% of strength using the time delay of photopolymerization.
Controlled the variables, like etching treatment water evaporation and wavelength size of cure light. Achieved the highest strength and best molecular organization, avoiding defects and internal stress in bonding restorations.
SOLID BODY MECHANICS/ DESIGN ANALYSIS/ COMPUTER SIMULATION. Using Tomography scanner, Mimic, Magic and Ansys programs can simulate a real tooth. Applying different kind of load, real stress analysis results that can be obtained.
FLUID DYNAMICS IN FINITE ELEMENTS ANALYSIS. This is an Ansys command research, tailoring a loaded simulation program under the Finite Elements Analysis.
STRUCTURE DYNAMICS, ADVANCE STRENGTH MATERIAL
POLYMERS (ADHESIVES-NANOTUBES )
MECHANICAL TESTING
SCANNER ELECTRON MICROSCOPY, DISPERSE ELECTRON SPECTROSCOPY
X-R DIFFRACTION:I In the adhesive research, the elements chemical composition was a variable that provided the opportunity to predict the type and strength of a bond.

PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCE
FACILITIES SUPERVISOR, REXALL SUNDOWN –NBTY, DEERFIELD BEACH FL. 334**-****-****
Responsible of the three maintenance facilities and the new projects..
RESIDENT SCIENTIST, CHEM –BOND GK-12 PROJECT, GRADUATE FELLOWSHIP NATIONAL SCIENCE FOUNDATION FLORIDA ATLANTIC UNIVERSITY, CHEMISTRY DEPARTMENT .2007-2009
The program is a link between the High School and the undergraduate program with the objective to develop instructors to implement more attractive chemistry instructional material and teaching techniques
.I was assigned to create a research to control the program results. Developed a statistic design, showing why there was no students interest .By applying my communication skills, the scientist team was able to change the development and the implementation of these new techniques. The results was achieved by 90% of the students participation in this activities with very high level of motivation .I was awarded with a year fellowship of $40000
