Miguel Paganin Neto

Graduated in Geological Engineering at the Federal University of Ouro Preto - UFOP (2011) and holds a Master's in Geotechnical Engineering at the Federal University of Ouro Preto - UFOP (2015). Professor of Structural Geology, Mineralogy and Gemology of UEMG - University of the state of Minas Gerais (2011-2014). Specialist in Geotechnics and Hydrogeology for ArcelorMittal Mines Canada at 2014 to 2021. Currently works for VALE Brazil as General Manager of Geotechnics and Hydrogeology at Itabira Mining Complex, and is a PhD student at Brasília University (UNB - Brazil). Holds experience in Geosciences, with emphasis on geotechnics (rock mechanics and slope stability analysis) and geotechnical design criteria. Also holds experience in the management and control of small, medium and large geotechnical structures as dams, dikes, pits, waste piles and social, environmental, knowledge and economic value generation projects.
