I am a mechanical engineer, with a background in physical sciences that allow me to deepen my knowledge in fields such as thermodynamics, nanomaterials and fluids. I have knowledge of Density Functional Theory (DFT) which allows me to simulate the characterization of some properties of nanomaterials with software such as Quantum ESPRESSO or Material studio. I have worked with graphene, where I have analyzed its elastic properties with the phononic spectrum. Now, I am at final stage of my thesis project, from which I will hope obtain a scientific article and my master degree.
