Education

Sebastián Coba is a Chemical Engineer from university Jorge Tadeo Lozano in Bogotá, Colombia with a Master degree in nanostructured materials from the University of Zaragoza. During his bachelors', he worked in conductive polymers with graphene. After graduation, he was named as mass balance teacher in the engineering faculty and was a fellow of the BioNanoEng group in the same university. He has done his master's degree thanks to the Fundación Carolina Scholarship, where his thesis was focused on the production of nanofibers from different polymers with electrospinning technique. Those nanofibers were thought for a variety of applications such as in catalysis and in water treatment.

Research

His current research activity and PhD work, is based on the production; complete characterization and application of Polymer blend nanocomposites (PBNANOs) from recycled plastics, in a collaborative project with private sector (BOREALIS) and under the supervision of Prof. Alejandro Muller.
