Biography
Aline is a geologist and geophysicist passionate about closing the gap between geophysical tools and geological challenges. Her main research focus is on the integrated quantitative interpretation of multi-physics data for unveiling geology at depth by using inverse theory and machine learning. She has experience in 3D modeling and interpretation of magnetic, gravity, electrical, and electromagnetic methods for mineral exploration and geological mapping. Aline received a B.S. (2008) in geology from Universidade de Brasilia and in the same year joined the geophysics team of the mining company Vale S.A. In 2012, while working for Vale completed her M.Sc. degree in geophysics at Universidade de Brasilia. She completed a Ph.D. (2018) in geophysics at Colorado School of Mines (United States) where received the Mendenhall Prize for Outstanding Graduating Ph.D. Students from the Geophysics Department. Before joining UCD she was an assistant professor of geophysics at Universidade Federal de Minas Gerais (UFMG) in Brazil. Aline received the award of Best Paper presented by a student in the Mining and Geothermal sessions at the 2015 Society of Exploration Geophysicists (SEG) annual meeting, is a co-founder of the Brazilian Association of Women in Geosciences (ABMGeo), and believes in the power of sharing experiences to promote equality, diversity, and inclusion. Aline is the mother of Clara, loves hiking, and reading about astronomy and psychology
