Maria Camila Sojo-Aguero
I am a geologist from San Juan, Argentina. Currently, I am a Fulbright doctorate student under Dr. Hervé Rezeau’s supervision in the Department of Geosciences at the University of Arizona. My interests are mainly focused in magmatic-hydrothermal systems, particularly Porphyry Copper Systems. I got my undergraduate degree from Universidad Nacional de San Juan in 2017 and during my university studies, I got involved in different areas of Earth Sciences. In 2018, I was awarded an internship at The Climate Institute in Washington D.C. After this amazing experience, I returned to my home country, and I worked as an exploration geologist on a copper porphyry project in the Andes Mountains. Nowadays, my doctoral studies focus on understanding the evolution and the magmatic-hydrothermal processes of the Filo Del Sol porphyry-epithermal system, in Argentina. In my spare time I enjoy learning new languages and sharing time with my family, always accompanied by a mate (Argentinian drink).
