Background

About Krissel Contreras

I am a Chemist currently pursuing my Master’s degree in Fine Chemistry and Polymers from the Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona, specializing in polymer science, surface engineering, and product development. My professional experience at Henkel and TECNALIA Research & Innovation has allowed me to work on the formulation and characterization of advanced materials, focusing on surface modification, adhesion, and functional coatings. With a solid background in both research and industrial environments, I have developed strong analytical and problem-solving skills, supported by proficiency in Python for data analysis and Microsoft Excel for process optimization. I am passionate about bridging fundamental chemistry with applied material science to design sustainable, high-performance polymer systems that address real-world engineering challenges.
