“As Research Officer, I consider myself as facilitator. I strive to support wherever needed, whether it is hands-on work or optimizing work routines.”

 

In May 2023, I joined the Department of Earth Sciences at the Faculty of Geosciences as Research Officer in Earth Surface Processes

With my scientific background in Marine Geochemistry, I can be an asset to plan and perform field- and lab work and help with research project management and outreach. Moreover, I seek the dialogue with our staff in order to identify needed improvements within our organization which enhance the executability of research projects.

 

My efforts include:

Lab Intake Form (LIF): Lab work
Extending the digital in-house LIF system to manage and facilitate lab work (sample preparations, analytical measurements) and to provide assistance for scientific staff (prepare for fieldwork and practicals,…).

 

Lab Intake Form (LIF): Lab users
Establishing a digital in-house system to streamline the registration of new lab users in the GeoLab. The LIF system will be available from autumn 2024.

 

GeoLab communication:
Improving the visibility of the analytical possibilities in the GeoLab (centralized lab facility within the Faculty of Geosciences) and promoting the national NanoSIMS facility.

Geological sample storage:
Storing and retrieving geological samples and improving the current sample management.
