Daniel C\u00e1rdenas-V\u00e1squez, Ph.D., a Grand Challenges Initiative Postdoctoral Fellow at the Fowler School of Engineering!<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Dr. C\u00e1rdenas-V\u00e1squez was born in Moyobamba, Per\u00fa. He holds a bachelor\u2019s degree in chemical engineering from Universidad Nacional Pedro Ruiz Gallo (UNPRG), in Lambayeque, Per\u00fa, and a Ph.D. in chemical and biomolecular engineering from North Carolina State University, where he conducted research about new functional materials using colloids and hydrogels for biomedical applications as well as exploring novel nucleation prediction methods using computational tools for drug discovery and other pharmaceuticals applications. Additionally, he has a keen interest in the ethics of science, specifically at the interface of organized religious entities and genetically modified foods (GMOs). On the side, he drinks lots of (specialty) coffee while trying to model in-silico its pour over extraction mechanism.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><strong>Q &amp; A with Dr. E.

I love it because we can probe very small scales with computational methods that would otherwise be extremely expensive experimentally.<\/span><\/p>\n<div data-olk-copy-source=\"MessageBody\"><strong>What is the best advice you\u2019ve received in your science career?<\/strong><\/div>\n<div data-olk-copy-source=\"MessageBody\">\n<p><span data-olk-copy-source=\"MessageBody\">Failure is what propels discoveries.
