Moving away to a new country, more than 8,000 kms away from home, where you don’t speak the native language, in pursuit of your dreams, comes with apprehension and excitement. These feelings are not loud, unlike the trumpets blown back in my country, they are the slow winding creepers finding their way into your existence. […]

Understanding the Many Faces of Uncertainty In climate science, the word “uncertainty” connotes way more than a technical term – it’s a fundamental property of the system we study. Every dataset, model output or forecast carries with it some degree of doubt: about how the atmosphere or ocean was observed, how well models represent physical […]

During the CBH Graduate School Summer School ‘Reducing the Carbon Footprint of Research’ I had to confront a truth I had never really considered before: the act of doing climate research itself has a carbon footprint.

This post reflects on my conference experiences in marine economics research and how attending conferences helped shape my academic confidence, research direction and identity as an early-career researcher.

This blog shares my journey into the world of low-dimensional nanomaterials, starting from a childhood fascination with nanotechnology. From studying MOFs as an undergraduate to researching nanoclusters in carbon nanotubes during my master’s studies, I gradually developed a strong interest in nanoscale materials. Now, as an AUFRANDE PhD student jointly supervised by Prof. Paolo Samorì and Prof. Liming Dai, I work on engineering MoS₂-based 2D hybrid materials for energy conversion and storage. After completing my first year in France, I will continue the next stage of my research in Australia.

After 10 months of my PhD life in France, I would like to share my experiences so far.

If you have an idea and I have an idea and we exchange these ideas, then each of us will have two ideas
