  Universidade do Porto

  Jul 2022 - Jun 2023

  Research Fellow

  My experience includes the treatment and validation of rock samples using portable XRF equipment to assess their spectral properties. I've been actively involved in subsurface data processing and contributed to 3D modeling of pegmatitic formations. Additionally, I have participated in meetings and presentations focused on integrating project information and collaborations with other universities.Fieldwork has been a crucial aspect of my role, primarily involving sample collection and remote data validation. I have also played a key role in developing sample preparation techniques for subsequent analytical phases using LIBS and p-XRF equipment. Show less

  GRUPO SAMCA

  May 2023 - May 2024

  Geologist

  We conducted a mining exploration campaign for lithium-bearing pegmatites in two places in Spain. This involved reviewing and resampling the historical drilling campaign, managing the database, and planning for a future drilling campaign. Fieldwork was carried out, and we utilized the ion leach method along with qualitative and quantitative mineralogical and geochemical methods for a comprehensive project analysis. Additionally, we performed the interpretation of digital terrain models (DTM). Show less
