ABOUT SANTIAGO D. SALAS

I am a chemical engineer currently focused on Advanced Control & Optimization (AC & O) within polyethylene manufacturing. My technical journey is rooted in Process Systems Engineering (PSE), navigating diverse systems, from biorefineries to friction-stir welding. Notable highlights include leveraging simulation-based optimization to achieve objectives related to product quality, economics, and sustainability. ​This variety of problems has granted me flexibility to adapt to new challenges. While I\'m passionate about PSE and AC & O, previous training in sustainability-focused LCA provides me with a holistic perspective in problem-solving.​Advocate of free-market, circular migration, computer-aided tools for process engineering, and ethical digitalization.
