ABOUT ME
Originally from Mexico, Angel García holds both a Bachelor’s and a Master’s degree in Chemical Engineering from the Universidad de Guanajuato. His graduate training focused on mathematical modeling, optimization, and sustainability-oriented decision-making in chemical and energy systems. In Fall 2022, Angel completed a research internship at the Centro de Innovación Aplicada en Tecnologías Competitivas (CIATEC), where he worked on the optimization of bio-based processes and gained experience translating theoretical models into industrially relevant applications. In addition to his research activities, Angel has teaching experience in higher education. He served as an Instructor at the Instituto Tecnológico Superior de Guanajuato in Spring 2025 and previously as a guest lecturer at the Universidad de Guanajuato. In Fall 2025, he began his Ph.D. in Chemical Engineering at the University of Wisconsin–Madison, where he joined the research group of Professor Avraamidou. Outside of his academic and professional activities, Angel enjoys running, spending time in nature, listening to music, and watching films and television series. He is also a passionate soccer fan.
RESEARCH INTERESTS
Angel’s research interests broadly center on the use of optimization, systems modeling, and data-driven approaches to support the development of more sustainable chemical and energy systems. He is particularly interested in designing decision-support frameworks that integrate economic, environmental, and societal considerations, with the goal of improving the performance and resilience of complex industrial networks. More generally, his interests include operations research applications in chemical engineering, energy and process systems engineering, and the development of modeling tools that can inform strategic and policy-relevant decisions in the context of the global energy transition.
