Joaquin Herrero

I was born in Argentina as the oldest brother in a duo. During my childhood, I’ve lived in a lot of places as my dad was given assignments around the world (Libya, Panama, Angola, and Argentina again), so I’m used to moving around and adapting to changing circumstances. My background is in Chemical Engineering, having received a bachelors from Purdue University (Class of ’22). Science and Chemistry have been big passions of mine, and lead into my research area: Heterogeneous Catalysis using light (Photocatalysis). When I’m not doing research or learning I’m a computer gamer at heart. I especially like simulation games like Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024, Arma 3, Wolfpack, and so on. I arrived at LaTech in Spring 2024, and have since then participated in GSC in different capacities: As an ad hoc member, as the Secretary, as the Vice President, and now as the President.
