Danis Filimon is a PhD student in Geosciences and Environment at the Department of Earth Sciences of the University of Pisa. The PhD project is a multidisciplinary research study in economic geology. The objective is to characterize the metallogenesis of two epithermal gold-telluride deposits in Almalyk orefield (Uzbekistan), and above all to be able to understand the behavior of gold in association with tellurides, selenides, and several sulfides of Bi, Pb, Cu. The project involves characterizing the gold mineralization with a geological-structural survey and sampling, as well as laboratory work using different analytical methodologies from macro- to micro- and nano-scale.
BSc in Earth Sciences at the University of Pisa in 2018 with a thesis: “Silicification processes in hydrothermal alteration in southern Tuscany: the examples of Frassine, Poggio Peloso and Sassa”. MSc in Geological Sciences and Technologies at the University of Pisa in 2023, with a thesis: “Metallogenesis of As-Sb sulfides ore deposit of Matra (Alpine Corsica, France)”.
He participated in various activities in the field of georesources, such as training courses on uranium mineralization, a summer school on lithium pegmatites in Norway, and an internship to characterize a Pb-Zn-Ag sulfides mineralization.
