SalvadorBrandolin/README.md

Hi there! I'm Dr. Salvador E. Brandolín 👋

Welcome to my GitHub profile! I am a Ph.D. in Engineering Sciences specializing in chemical reaction engineering, kinetic modeling, and the simulation of bio-based processes.

Currently, I am working as a Postdoctoral Researcher, focusing on the production, optimization, and kinetic modeling of Epoxidized Soybean Oil (ESBO).


🔬 Research Interests & Expertise

  • Chemical Reaction Engineering: Reactor design, multiphasic systems (biphasic media), and enzymatic catalysis.
  • Kinetic Modeling: Parameter estimation, optimization, and mathematical modeling of complex reaction networks.
  • Thermodynamics: phase equilibrium modelling.

🎓 Ph.D. Background: My doctoral research focused on the enzymatic epoxidation of essential oils in biphasic media, where I bridged experimental work with custom software development to solve simultaneous mass transfer and chemical kinetics.


🛠️ Scientific Computing Stack

I leverage programming as a core tool to solve differential equations, perform parameter tuning, and analyze complex datasets:

  • 🐍 Python (Primary): Daily driver for data analysis, visualization, and rapid modeling.
  • ⚙️ Modern Fortran: Used for heavy numerical calculations (mostly thermodynamics).

My principal projects are:

  • ugropy: A Python library designed to swiftly and effortlessly obtain the UNIFAC-like groups from molecules by their names and subsequently integrate them into inputs for thermodynamic libraries. UNIFAC, PSRK, and Joback models are implemented.

  • ReactorD: Python project for designing chemical reactors.

I'm a contributor of

  • yaeos: Thermodynamic Equations of State, Fortran library with both automatic and anallytical derivation capabilities
