Estefany Pajaro Contreras

Chemical engineer specialized in the design and construction of high pressure photoreactors. Experience in the synthesis of catalysts and oxidation reactions with supercritical CO2 as a solvent. Knowledge in the analysis, design, and management of petrochemical and chemical processes, as well as rheological behavior and hydrocarbon transport phenomena, aside from regulations, research in materials and interpretation of analytical techniques and use of simulation programs processes.

Research assistant- 03/2019 to 08/2022 Universidad Industrial de Santander, Bucaramanga-Colombia 

• Design and start-up of a process plant for reactions using supercritical CO2 as solvent in the photooxidation of olefins. • Synthesis of heterogeneous catalysts (MoO2 complexes supported on titanium dioxide nanotubes). • Perform photooxidation reaction of terpenes using the mechanism of transfer of oxygen atoms and supercritical CO2 as solvent.

 Laboratory intern-01/2018 to 07/2018 Instituto Colombiano de Petróleo- ICP-ECOPETROL, Bucaramanga-Colombia 

• Analysis of results and support in the experiments design in research projects on transportation of heavy and extra-heavy crude oils and service portfolio tests of the laboratory of interfacial phenomena and rheology
