José Piquer
I graduated as a geologist from Universidad de Chile in 2004. During the next seven years after graduation, I worked as an exploration geologist for Codelco-Chile, the world’s largest copper producer. There I was involved in both greenfields and brownfields projects, exploring for porphyry-style and IOCG deposits. Between 2011 and 2014, I moved to Australia to complete my PhD at CODES, University of Tasmania. The topic of the PhD project was the structural controls on the emplacement of porphyry Cu-Mo deposits in central Chile. Since 2015 I have been living in Valdivia, Chile, working as a professor at Universidad Austral de Chile, where I am currently the Director of its Institute of Earth Sciences. I have conducted applied research about the structural controls on magmatic and hydrothermal activity in the Atacama desert, the Andes of central and southern Chile, Patagonia, and at the Fujian province, China.
