Pedro Brito
Advisor: Codeço
Originally from Brazil, I’m passionate about combining detailed fieldwork with lab-based investigations to better understand the geologic and geochemical evolution of mineral systems. My passion for geology began at a young age, inspired by my father, who is also a geologist working in mining consulting in Brazil. Watching his work and joining him on field visits helped shape my academic path and continues to motivate my professional journey.
