Sergio Arango

Sergio Arango-Osorio is a Chemical Engineer with a Master’s degree in Engineering and a current doctoral student in Chemical Engineering at Texas Tech University. He joined CETI-LAB to contribute to projects involving energy systems, process modeling, and industrial automation. His research interests include the development of digital twins for dynamic processes, the integration of renewable energy into smart grids, and advanced control strategies for industrial systems.

Sergio’s background combines research and professional experience in thermodynamics, process simulation, and automation. During his master’s studies, he developed an engineering and cost model for renewable energy integration into smart grids, along with the conceptual and basic design of a pilot project. He also gained hands-on expertise in automation and data acquisition by designing and implementing experimental setups for biochemical methane potential (BMP) analysis using open-source hardware such as Arduino and Raspberry Pi.

He is passionate about advancing sustainable energy technologies, with a particular focus on hydrogen, fuel cells, and the discovery of novel materials for energy conversion. His long-term goal is to contribute to innovation in clean energy systems through his doctoral research and collaborative work at CETI-LAB.
