At University, she worked on a project about the possibility of using recycled snack bags in Scheffler reflectors for Andean regions. With this project, she won the internal project fair “Vivir la Ingeniería” UTEC 2015-2 in the category of development/product, and the third place in the Expo Energy Efficiency Award of Led Expo Peru in 2016. Se has been in Germany doing research on heterogeneous catalysis at Ruhr Universität Bochum.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Danae is characterized by a passionate dedication to her ideals and the development of her University or organization she is part of. This is reflected on the many activities she has done. For example, she was co-founder of the Affinity Group of Women in Engineering in the Student Branch IEEE-UTEC and is currently chairman of the Student Branch. As chairman, she and the board of directors of IEEE-UTEC has worked on many activities (more than twenty), giving the student chapter Power and Energy Society the first place in Exit Case Award in the region. Also, she is part of a community in Nuestra Señora de la Reconciliación Church, where she has been part of the board member of the volunteering “Pan para mi Hermano” and the person in charge of the food’s transportation and distribution.
