- Possui Graduação em Química de Polímeros pela Universidade Simón Bolívar (USB) em Caracas-Venezuela (1989), Mestrado em Engenharia de Materiais (1996) e Doutorado em Química (2000) pela mesma USB. Desenvolveu trabalhos de pesquisa em Biopolimeros no Instituto de pesquisa Frances INRA onde fez o seu primeiro pos-doutoramento (2002-2003), e logo entre 2004-2005 fez um segundo pos-doutoramento na Universidade do Minho (Braga-Portugal), no prestigioso grupo da Pesquisa em Biomateriais liderado pelo Dr. Rui Reis, o Grupo 3Bs. Teve a oportunidade de fazer um estagio corto (Agosto-Setembro 2006) de pesquisa na Unite de recherche en Biologie Cellulaire Vegetale des Facultes Universitaires Notre-Dame de la Paix a Namur-Bélgica. Entre Dezembro 2012 e Outubro 2013 fez um estagio do ano sabático no Centro de Tecnologia e Informação (CTI) Renato Archer em Campinas (SP) e também fez algumas experiencias de laboratório durante esse período no Instituto Nacional de Tecnologia (INT) em Rio de Janeiro (RJ). Atualmente e desde o 2005, trabalha como Professor Titular a dedicação exclusiva do Departamento de Química, da Universidade Simón Bolívar (Caracas-Venezuela), nas áreas de Química Orgânica e Polímeros. E pesquisador chefe do Grupo de Pesquisa B5IDA (Biomateriais ?Biomiméticos ? Biopolímeros, Biodegradáveis e Biocompatíveis) onde dedica a sua pesquisa trabalhando com polímeros como Poliácido láctico PLA, policaprolactona PCL, poli(N-isopropil-acrilamida) PNIPA, blendas entre polímeros biodegradáveis, biopolimeros: quitosana, alginato, acido hialuronico, colágeno. Tamebm trabalha no desenvolvimento do Hidrogéis biodegradáveis para o encapsulamento do fármacos e biomoléculas. Possui experiência na área de caracterização de materiais (espectroscópicas, calorimétricas, morfológicas, mecânicas, etc.) para o estudo destes biomateriais e dos processos de degradação, e processo de modificação química de estes biomateriais. Também usa técnicas como prototipagem rápida para a produção de andamios para engenharia tecidual e electrospinning. Pertenceu à rede BIOFAB (Rede Iberoamericana de Biofabricação: Materiais, Processos e Simulação) financiada pelo CYTED (Programa Ibero-Americano de Ciência y Tecnologia para el Desarrollo). Tem sido referi de várias revistas científicas internacionais. É membro do Programa de Estimulo para a Pesquisa Venezuelana (PEII, nível A) e de diversas comissões acadêmicas e de pesquisa dentro da Universidade Simón Bolívar.
