About Daniela

Daniela completed her BSc in Geological Engineering at Universidad Nacional de Colombia, Medellin. Her final bachelor’s project focused on the petrography and thermobarometry of plutonic units in a portion of the central cordillera of the Northern Andes. She is currently a MSc student at Queen’s University under the supervision of Dr. Laurent Godin and her research aims to constrain the late stage exhumation of the Frontenac Arch in the Grenville province of Ontario, Canada by low temperature thermochronology.
