Employment history
09/2015-10/2015, 6 weeks internship
Corrosion Engineer, Citic Pacific Mining, Australia
This role involves the assessment ofcorrosion in the Sino Iron Ore Desalination plantin Western Australia. The
methodologyincludes literature review about corrosion in general in Desalination plants,the Identification of
corrosion mechanism through observations ofthe Desal plant and the developmentofstrategies to mitigate the
corrosion mechanisms identified.
Key Achievements
-I participated in the making ofa final reportwhich includes the types of corrosion mechanisms identified in the
Desalination Plantand whatmeasures should to be taken to mitigate these.

Research Assistant, Korea Institute of Geoscience and Mineral Resources
(KIGAM), Korea
I was responsible to perform research in fields related to mineral science. Amongstmymain responsibilities there
is the developmentofa research projectby the following methodology:designing ofexperiments,data
acquisition,data interpretation and publication ofresearch in journals. In addition,a teaching componentis
involved by showing students how to do basic chemical experiments such as:titrations,distillation,organic
reactions,wetchemistrytests,etc.
Key Achievements
- I achieved four publications atpeer reviewed journals,with special mention to a publication done in scientific
reports which is a journal thatbelongs to Nature.

2. - I assisted in increasing the network of scientists between KIGAM in Korea and CSIRO/Murdoch University in
