!! Recent Changes * 2023: Added woodwork page. * 2020-Aug-19: Upload updated CV. * 2019-Dec-30: Switched to new server and updated the sections of presentations in conferences. * 2018-Nov-29: Job changed. ! About me I am a scientist with Chemical Engineering background and a PhD on Engineering Science. {nando2_th.jpg|Young version of me|nando2.jpg} In 2018 I moved to the Carbon Science Centre of Excellence in [http://http://www.morganadvancedmaterials.com/|Morgan Advanced Materials] in Pennsylvania, USA to work as a Materials Scientist, but my role shifted and currently I do what I enjoy the most as Research Scientist. Last few years I was a researcher in [http://www.shinshu-u.ac.jp/english/|Shinshu University] in Japan. My research there focused on studying the behavior of fluids at the nanoscale. I have a special interest in the molecular understanding of adsorption and how molecules interact with surfaces. I got my PhD at [http://www.udec.cl|Universidad de Concepcion], Chile. My research group was ([http://www.udec.cl/~carbocat|Carbons and Catalysts]). We worked mainly on experimental catalysis, carbon reactions (and its surface chemistry properties related to reactivity) and some recent computational chemistry research. {dsc_5123_th.jpg|A more recent pic|dsc_5123.jpg} During my free time, I have a lot of hobbies. For example: * [http://www.vallejos.cl/data/files/patada.jpg|Play football] (or soccer if you're from the US). * [wood|Woodworking]. * Astronomy and astrophotography. Check [https://www.astrobin.com/users/nandobike/|my AstroBin]!. * Skiing. * Learning how to make and use small machines. * [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Main_Page|Wikipedia] topics editor (check [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Contributions/Nandobike|my contributions]) * [mountaineering|Volcano climber] * [books|Book reading] See my CV [http://www.vallejos.cl/data/files/cv_nando_mar2023.pdf|HERE] (Updated March 2023). !

Current academic activities * New method for pore size distribution of microporous carbons. [graphical_abstract.jpg] * My work on graphene nanowindows was published on ''Nature Communications'': [https://www.nature.com/articles/s41467-018-04224-6|Air separation with graphene mediated by nanowindow-rim concerted motion]. [featuredimage.jpg] ! Machine construction These are some laboratory apparatus I enjoyed constructing: * Multiprobe adsorption, membrane permeance, and injection adsorption apparatus * Design of a dynamic adsorption machine * Laser treatment apparatus * In-situ FTIR cell * Controlled sample freezer !
