About me
I am a Research Engineer possessing an extensive experience in polymers, composites and plastics, who often looks for challenges. Enthusiast to learn new things, I am able to precisely and briefly express ideas. Analytical, inquisitive nature, detail-oriented, I am always comfortable with scientific principles.
My experience includes work with a large variety of products, a good knowledge of their corresponding processes and characterization, in different areas of Materials Science with applications in plastics, rubber, composites and petrochemical industries. I also have designed and developed new or upgraded products having high efficiency and bringing significant savings.
Key Competencies:
• Polymers Characterization
• Plastics processing
• Wood-Plastic Composites
• Polymer synthesis
• Polymers modification
• Organic synthesis
• Additives for crude oils, lubricating oils and diesel fuels
• Pipeline petroleum products
• Oil Processing & Petrochemical Technology
• Adsorption and Catalysis
In addition, I am well versed in preparing technical reports and making presentations. I have created new intellectual wealth for companies; a list of selected publications is available at
An overview of personal characteristics and career strengths:
• Making a difference – I do believe that the best way to enjoy life is to have a positive effect on someone else’s
• Able to think outside of the box to come up with my own solutions
• Creative, not necessarily in the artistic sense, but because I can expand my mind to do things differently from others
• Calm, relaxed and honest person who tends to take life in stride
• People would see me as being assertive, determined and goal oriented within well defined situations
• More often, I appear to be generally accepting, agreeable, considerate, mild mannered and cautious in any less clearly defined work or personal situation
• Myers Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI®) describes me as ISTJ (Introvert, Sensor, Thinker, Judger) meaning I talk less and think before act, I am aware of the physical world, I am naturally critical and motivated by achievement, finally I am diligent and decisive
• The overall work personality, tested with JASPER™, indicates that I am a Thinker having the following unique strengths: innovative, rousing, organizational skills and questioning
• The Emotional IQ Test shows Empathy (115)
• The Brainteaser Test score is 87%
• The Karma Test: in the last year I have earned 908 points
• Ayurveda Body Type is Pitta; Ayurveda, also known as The Science of Life or The Knowledge of Reality, amalgamates the accuracy of science and the sublimity of philosophy, poetry, and art
Thank you for consideration, and I look forward to hearing from you
