GENERAL
Biography
Professor Juan Manuel Urbina González has focused part of his research on the development of new methods for characterizing complex mixtures such as crude oils and coals, along with their fractions. His approach also includes the development of statistical correlation models that relate chemical properties of crude oils and heavy fractions to the structural groups of the constituent molecules, determined through NMR spectra. These models are generated using chemometric methods that employ various algorithms, including Multiple Linear Regression, Partial Least Squares, Neural Networks, and Genetic Algorithms. Additionally, he has contributed to correlations to optimize refinery operations, including Dewaxing, DEMEX, and Delayed Coking.
