Biography

Hello! My name is Moises Romero, and I was born in the most ancient and beautiful city in the continental Americas, Veracruz, and the major commercial port in Mexico. My interests in science started ever since i had memory, remembering my dad giving me a 1991 Guinness Book of Records, that´s when the curiosity begun.

I spent most of my life in De La Salle Schools, which is a worldwide catholic congregation primarily dedicated to teach youngsters. After living a few years in Mexico City, my father´s work was transferred to Veracruz, and then to Tampico, running a design engineering firm, after spending some years in E.I. DuPont de Nemours.

I got my B.Eng in Chemical Engineering in March, 2009, in the Instituto de Estudios Superiores de Tamaulipas, part of a private catholic network called Red Anahuac, ran by the Legion of Christ. While doing my undergraduate studies, my profile was intensely driven by research interests, and after spending one year as an intern in the Styrenics laboratory at BASF, Altamira Site, I decided to pursue a postgrad in the University of Sheffield, in the Chemical and Process Engineering Department, currently assessed by Prof. Allen, Prof. Priestman and Dr. Rachel Elder.

Research

My PhD research is mainly interested in the development of the hydrogen economy, mainly concerned in doing research about the thermochemical equilibrium of certain part of the Westinghouse process, and also interested in the oxygen-sulphur dioxide separation techniques obtained from ceramic membranes operating at high temperatures.

Other Interests

I´ve been in rescue brigades in hurricane disaster sites, and catholic missions in rural places. I collaborate in my department, updating the webpages for the Process Fluidics Group. Finally, I'm trying to contribute as a column writer in a latin culture magazine.
