I am a chemical engineer with strong interest in maths, physics and biology.

I have been working in the petrochemical industry as a process engineer since April 2016. I always care about the details when carrying out projects, in an attempt to increase my technical aptitude.

I entered physics forum in order to give and take answers about technical/scientific questions.
