About Me

simon.socha.g@gmail.com (Simon Socha Gausachs) — Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000

Hi, I’m a Chemical Engineering graduate from the University of South Florida, originally from Concepción, Chile. I moved to Florida when I was nearly 6 years old and have lived here since.

Engineering runs in my family. My dad is a process engineer and my grandfather was a chief operator at a petroleum refinery in Chile, so I’ve been exposed to what process engineering is really like from a young age and have been personally invested in it for a long time. Throughout my education, internships, and research experience I’ve built up a well-rounded background incorporating process modeling, design, and analysis including Aspen Plus and CHEMCAD simulations, hydraulic and control systems, P&IDs, hazard analyses, and leading a multidisciplinary capstone project from concept to economic evaluation.
