Thank you MIT Climate & Sustainability Consortium (MCSC) for the spotlight about my work with sustainable, clean energy polymers at Atacama Biomaterials. It was great to see old and new friends at my talk. The fellowship at the MCSC was one of the pivotal experiences of my life. Directed by Prof. Elsa Olivetti, Prof. @Jefrey Grossman, Anantha Chandrakasan, Desiree Plata and Exec. Director Jeremy Gregory, the consortium has an intense focus on #materials sustainability. There I could expand my scientific expertise in molecular engineering enhanced with machine learning for material production.
Paloma Gonzalez-Rojas, Ph.D., who completed the MCSC’s Impact Fellowship program in 2023, is an entrepreneur and #material scientist with extensive experience in machine learning. She is now the CEO and co-founder of Atacama Biomaterials, a startup developing #plastic alternatives that can be made from diverse, local #biomass while remaining cost-effective. The skills Paloma is using in this role are ones she developed through many years of research, collaborations, and conversations with faculty, industry, peers, and students.
