I particularly enjoy exploring these topics through experimentation, both in the laboratory and in the field:&nbsp;&nbsp;to determine what to measure and how, to identify the limitations and challenges involved, and to understand what the measurements can reveal about the underlying processes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Biography<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>2026 &#8211; present<\/strong> : Master thesis in Physical Limnology, LAKES group, UNIL, Lausanne, Switzerland.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>2025 &#8211; present<\/strong> : Teaching Assistant in Groundwater Modelling, D-EAPS, ETH, Z\u00fcrich, Switzerland.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>2024 &#8211; present<\/strong> : Master of Science in Environmental Sciences, major in Atmosphere and Climate, ETH, Z\u00fcrich, Switzerland.
