Carlos Nieto-Draghi (b. 1975) completed a Chemical Engineer degree at the Simón Bolívar University (Caracas, Venezuela) followed by a DEA and Ph.D. in Chemical Engineer and Processes at the Rovira i Virgili Univesrity (Tarragona, Sapin) in 2003 on the relationship between local structure and transport properties of aqueous solutions of organic solvents using molecular simulation techniques. Since 2005 he joined the Thermodynamic and Molecular Simulation Department of IFP Energies nouvelles as a R&I engineer in charge of the development of Multi-Scale simulation techniques to predict physico-chemical properties of fluids of industrial interest. He has participated as a contributor in the development of a general purpose molecular dynamics code (Newton) and Monte Carlo “Gibbs” code. He has published about 50 publications in peer reviewed international journals.
