Jorge Masis Ulloa

Jorge grew up in Costa Rica countryside with his parents, siblings and grandparents. In late childhood he moved to the city of Cartago, Costa Rica with his mother and sister. He enjoys music and videogames. Jorge plays the bass guitar and loves to read and learn new things in his free time.

He received his B.S. degree from the Costa Rica Institute of Technology in Industrial Engineering. During his undergraduate schooling, he came to Virginia Tech for an internship. When he decided to move on to graduate school, he remembered how much he had enjoyed his time in Blacksburg, VA and choose to come back to the Department of Sustainable Biomaterials to get his Masters degree.

Jorge graduated with his Masters degree from VT in 2022 and has recently joined CPULD as our full-time Lab Manager. He is in charge of the projects in our pallet and package testing labs. If you have any questions relating to testing, reach out to Jorge.
