Bio Brief
Carlos is a faculty member of the Department of Grain Science and Industry that works at the International Grains Program (IGP) as a program specialist and instructor focusing in the areas of grain storage, quality and processing, U.S. grain grading and export systems, and feed manufacturing. He serves as the coordinator for the Spanish-Speaking Outreach program and main contact with the Latin American grain industry. He also collaborates in research and extension at the Stored Product Protection Research group and Feed Technology group of the Department of Grain Science and Industry. Currently, Carlos is finishing his doctoral degree in Agricultural and Biological Engineering at Purdue University under Dr. Dirk Maier, professor and Head of the Department of Grain Science and Industry at Kansas State University. His research topic is focused on non-chemical alternatives for stored product protection. At Purdue University, he was part of the Post-Harvest Education and Research Center (PHERC) where he participated in several post-harvest and grain drying projects. During his master's degree at UIUC, his research topics were related to the value-added of co-products from corn milling processes and high-temperature dryer for small-scale frying of maize hybrids. His professional experience includes working as a project and maintenance engineer in the feed manufacturing industry and animal production. Carlos has traveled throughout Latin America, North Africa, and Europe as a technical consultant, translator, and speaker in several short courses and seminars in the areas of grain storage and feed manufacturing. He has also presented his research at several scientific and professional conferences, and in scientific journals.Education
