Vivian is a Master’s student in Mechanical Engineering at Purdue University. She earned her Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering from the National University of Colombia. Her research focuses on the measurement of zeotropic refrigerant fractionation with lubricants during phase change, with an emphasis on comparing sensors for in-line mixture composition and evaluating their tradeoffs between accuracy and practicality. This work aims to improve the understanding of mixture behavior and its impact on vapor compression cycles. Outside the lab, she enjoys outdoors activities, traveling, and exploring new cultural and culinary experiences.
