My PhD focused on the Neogene - Recent drift record of the Maldivian archipelago. My aim was to mainly use foraminiferal geochemical analyses in order to interpret past changes in the South Asian Monsoon, in order to infer possible future scenarios in a warming world. As a PhD candidate my duties extended beyond my research and included:Teaching assistantship:• General Micropaleontology, Bachelor level course (2016-2019)• Introduction to Geosciences, Bachelor level course (2017-2019)• History of the Earth, Bachelor level course (2017-2019)Conference organisation:• The Micropalaeontological Society Foraminifera and Nannofossil Groups Joint Meeting, From normal marine to extreme environments: A Micropaleontological Perspective, University of Fribourg local organising committee, 1-4.7.2019.Laboratory management:• Wet sieving laboratory, University of Fribourg, Department of geosciences (2017-2020)Field work:• City of Fribourg Geology, University of Fribourg Bachelor fieldtrip (2018-2019)• Chasseral Mapping Camp, University of Fribourg Bachelor fieldtrip (2017)
