Lina Rico

I am a highly motivated Geological Engineer with a strong background in geology and a passion for data analysis and Python programming. My experience includes automating Python-docx reports, creating a centralized Sharepoint platform for data management, and utilizing Power Automate for process automation. I have conducted research on fluid flow in fracture networks using Python libraries like matplotlib, numpy, and pandas. I am skilled in data analysis, visualization, and manipulation, and have a keen interest in leveraging data to drive decision-making. With a strong foundation in geological engineering and expertise in data science tools, I am eager to contribute to data-driven projects as a Data Scientist

• Data Scientist in the Geology area for an oil and gas company, Parex Resources. 
  Automated Python-docx reports on drilling activities creating Python scripts, reducing report generation time by 80%.
  Developed a Sharepoint site to create a centralized platform for storing, organizing, and accessing well data and reports.
  Utilized Power Automate flows to streamline and automate various processes within the Sharepoint site. Image processing using scikit - image to identify pores in thin sections images.
  Developed Excel templates using Visual Basic to centralize and automate the organization and analysis of data.
• Research Scholar in Physics and Astronomy Deparment, Purdue University US.
• Conducted lab experiments and Python programming language, specifically matplotlib, numpy, and pandas packages, for data manipulation, visualization, and analysis.
• Presented research findings at COUFRAC (Coupled Processes in Fractured Geological Media), Berkeley, USA, in nov. 2022.
  Received the UREP-C (Undergraduate Research Experience Purdue-Colombia) Scholarship for the duration of my stay.

• Geological Engineer (Bachelor) - Universidad Nacional de Colombia.
