Meet Rogelio Gomez and Move with Him!

I was born in the US, but I grew up in El Salvador, the country I actually consider where I am from. There, I spent 15 years at the Lycée Français to get my Baccaleauréat in 2011. Afterward, I went back to the US and got a B.Sc. in Chemical Engineering from LSU in 2015. As most of us early graduates, I integrated the workforce as an Automation and Controls Engineer in Pittsburgh, where I spent exactly 1 year and 1 month on the job. I decided the engineering industry wasn't really for me and went back to school in 2016 and got an M.Sc. in Chemistry from Paris Descartes University in 2018, in Paris, France. These were two intense years of university studies, preparing the group for research, in one of the most beautiful cities around the world nevertheless. Finally, I got a grant in Marseille to pursue a three year Ph.D. program in Bioinorganic Chemistry at Aix-Marseille University, which will finish next year, fall 2021.
