I am a Brazilian geologist and PhD candidate at CODES, University of Tasmania, researching the magmatic-hydrothermal evolution of tungsten skarn deposits on King Island. As part of a regional critical metals initiative, I investigate the geology, alteration and mineralisation of the Dolphin deposit using mine mapping, drill core logging, HyLogger3 spectral data, UV imaging, synchrotron µXRF and LA-ICP-MS analysis. With a background in economic geology and diverse field experience, I apply innovative geochemical and petrographic methods to enhance understanding of ore-forming processes and contribute to sustainable exploration and development of tungsten resources.

About the BEAKER STREET ROVING SCIENTIST PROGRAM
Each August, hundreds of Roving Scientists descend upon Hobart, filling up pubs and chatting to strangers as part of Beaker Street Festival. Discover a new world down the lens of microscope, and joining the least-boring bar conversations you’ve ever heard and these free (the chats – not the drinks) events.
For Scientists, Beaker Street’s Roving Scientist Program offers an excellent outreach, professional development, and networking opportunity. It’s the nerdiest and funnest way to share your research with the public, expand your network, and be inspired by leaders in all sectors of science and science communication.
