Details of education, training and experience

 EDUCATIONAL BACKGROUND

• THE UNIVERSITY OF SHEFFIELD – England Sept 2006-Sept 2007

Master in Advanced Metallurgy, Graduated from the Material Engineering

Department of the University of Sheffield .My Mmet Project done in this master
course involves the analysis of the inclusion of Mn/Si/Al killed steel, treated with
calcium”, this project was sponsored by Corus group (Steel producer) and thus
Getting distinction.

• INTERNAL AUDITOR - ISO 9001 CERTIFIED BY BUREAO VERA

VERITAS Jun 2004 IRCA: Sessions done in Hotel “Golf los Incas” -Peru

• TECHNOLOGICAL INSTITUTE “TECSUP” March – Nov 2002

This course basically involved plant maintenance, getting one of the best overall
average. The following subjects were taken into this course:
Industrial Maintenance
Hydraulic system
Mechanical maintenance
Manufacture for Maintenance
 • UNIVERSIDAD NACIONAL DE INGENIERIA ( National engineering
University -PERU) 1995 – 2001

Bachelor in Metallurgy, graduated from the Mining, geology and Metallurgy

department of the Universidad Nacional de Ingeniería, ranked within the first one-
third among the 12 undergraduate students.

 PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCE

1. FIRST SUBSEA (British company specialised in ball and taper

technology) ( 2007 until the present time)

Associate metallurgist (KTP associate)

• Working on Heat treatment of large scale forged billet

• I have developed a 2D Heat transfer model in visual Basic program that
combines conductive and convective heat transfer equation. This model is
used to simulate the quenching process for different billet size and predict
structure and mechanical properties in places where Charpy impact test and
tensile test are performed.
• Developing a visual basic program that determine the boundary condition
between the quenched billet and quenching media in term of convective heat
transfer coefficient.

2. CORPORACION ACEROS AREQUIPA (Steel Producer). 2003-2005

Manager of quality control department in the steelmaking division

• Dealing with both steelmaking division and continuous casting department to

determine the optimum conditions to achieve good steel quality.
• Developing new process parameters according to our facilities and conditions
during the production of low, medium and high carbon steel killed with Mn/Si
and aluminium.
• Finding optimums parameters to avoid internal and superficial defects during
the production of Billets.
• Control of mechanical properties of our Final Product such Rebar, structural
steel, microalloyed steel, ornamental steel to satisfy international specification
ASTM. For that purpose, regression model was carried out to predict the yield
strength having as variables residual elements such as Sn, Cr, Cu, Ni, Mo.
• Internal auditor focus on processes, customer satisfaction and procedures
applicable to service providers as manufacturers with greater emphasis on
process management and measurement, continual improvement with greater
top management involvement.
 PRE-PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCES
