About me
I am a Doctor of Science working at Texas AM University at Qatar 
in research on Fischer-Tropsch catalysts.
My PhD thesis was done at Universidad de Concepcion , Chile in a research group named
Me 2006
which belongs to the Chemical Engineering Department. Here, I worked mainly on experimental catalysis, carbon reactions (and its surface chemistry properties related to reactivity) and at the end, some computational chemistry research on carbons.I studied oxygen transfer on carbon supported catalysts. If you want a copy of my thesis do not hesitate to contact me.
