B.S., Geology Engineering, Universidad de Guanajuato, 2003 RESEARCH INTERESTSI am PhD. candidate in Geochemistry with strong desire to continue my life as explorationist. The scope of my experience includes developing a technique for exploration of epithermal precious metal deposits, looking fluid inclusions and the mineral textures. Combine geochemistry, structural geology, mapping surface and underground mines, logging drill core, statistics and three dimensional analyses and preparation of technical reports.
