Education
I graduated from UNAM, one of the most prestigious universities in Latin America. My degree is in geophysical engineering with a major in mining exploration. In the first two years of my program, I followed a common core curriculum, which included courses in calculus, statistics, chemistry, experiment physics, electromagnetism, integral calculus, and algebra, similar to those taken by engineering students. In the later years of my degree, in the principal clases included geology and different methodologies for geophysics, including studies in gravity and magnetics, seismic interpretation, well logs analysis, and electrical prospecting. Additionally, I studied courses in sedimentary rocks, petrophysics, seismology, stratigraphy, mineralogy, and the internal geodynamics of the Earth, etc.
