Work History

Research Assistant

Earth Observatory of Singapore
Singapore
09.2020 - 05.2022
  • Performed technical work in collaboration with a research team focusing on landscape evolution
  • Prepared and analysed carbonate samples using X‑Ray diffraction to determine aragonite content for dating purposes
  • Conducted U/Pb dating on the samples using Laser Ablation MC-ICP-MS and analyzed the data
  • The ages were used to reconstruct surface deformation and evolution of the Sumba coastline

Teaching Assistant

Asian School of the Environment
, Singapore
08.2020 - 05.2021
  • Assisted two courses over a span of two semesters: Solid earth (1 Semester) and Computational Earth Systems Science (1 Semester)
  • Helped lecturers with lesson plan development, class preparation and student mentoring
  • Provided feedback on pupil's work, identifying areas for improvement

Research Assistant

Asian School of the Environment
Singapore
08.2019 - 05.2022
  • Participated in field experiences to the Luzon region, Philippines, to collect relative sea-level data from coral microatolls
  • Performed numerical modelling as part of a research team focusing on understanding surface deformation in Northern Philippines
  • Modelled relative sea level data using elastic dislocation models via MATLAB and tested the models using likelihood analysis to determine the likely cause of surface deformation in portions of Northern Philippines. Produced a minor fault map of the region

Intelligence Officer
