Highlight of FIRE Alumni - Maria Campos - Tata Steel Nederland
My journey in the world of refractories began in the second year of my undergraduate studies, when I joined GEMM, the laboratory of Professor Victor Pandolfelli. That early experience sparked a passion that has guided me for more than ten years and brought me to the other side of the world.
