Evaluation

An aspect of your own experience that demonstrates this skill :
I developed this skill by critically comparing my results with values reported in the literature, especially when identical or similar parameters were used. I evaluated whether differences came from assumptions, datasets, methods, or uncertainties, rather than simply accepting published values. I also discussed my interpretations with supervisors and colleagues, exposed my work to feedback, and used this criticism to refine my analysis. This helped me judge both the quality of my own results and the relevance of other contributions.
I believe I have reached the PHASE 1 of development of this skill.

  • Is able to judge his own results in terms of both quality and added value.

  • Is willing to expose ideas to a critical audience; takes others’ opinions of his work into account.

  • Is willing to evaluate the work of other contributors and provides reasoned, realistic judgments of others’ work.

Information management

An aspect of your own experience that demonstrates this skill :
I developed this skill by systematically reviewing the literature throughout my PhD work, combining searches on arXiv, NASA ADS, Google Scholar, and bibliographic references from key papers. I learned to identify relevant and reliable sources, compare recent results with established work, and organise papers by topic, method, and relevance to my research questions. I also maintained structured notes and reference lists to track the state of the art, follow new developments, and decide when expert input or deeper investigation was needed.
I believe I have reached the PHASE 1 of development of this skill.

Managing change

An aspect of your own experience that demonstrates this skill :
I developed this skill by adapting to different academic environments, supervisors, and ways of working during my Masters and now PhD. Changes in research direction, unexpected results, and comparisons with the literature required me to adjust my methods and priorities regularly. Studying and working in different countries also helped me become more flexible and open to new approaches. I learned to ask for advice from supervisors, collaborators, and peers when needed, while using new opportunities such as summer schools and collaborations to strengthen my project and professional development.

Decision-making

An aspect of your own experience that demonstrates this skill :
I developed this skill by managing three research projects in parallel during my PhD, which required me to make regular decisions about priorities, methods, and next steps. For each project, I had to decide which analyses to pursue, when to revise an approach, and how to compare my results with the literature before drawing conclusions. I also supported discussions with supervisors by presenting clear results, possible interpretations, and alternative scenarios, allowing decisions to be based on evidence rather than assumptions.

Producing results

An aspect of your own experience that demonstrates this skill :
I developed this skill by turning research questions into concrete analyses across my three PhD projects. I tested methods, compared the first results with the literature, identified weaknesses, and refined the analysis until the results were reliable and scientifically useful. I also learned to present outcomes in a form suitable for discussion with supervisors and collaborators, and to judge whether the best way to exploit them was through further analysis, conference presentation, or publication.

Leadership

An aspect of your own experience that demonstrates this skill :
I developed this skill by helping supervise a Master’s student and by contributing to the coordination of work across my PhD projects. This involved explaining scientific ideas clearly, giving constructive feedback, helping define next steps, and supporting progress without taking over the work. I also learned to build trust with collaborators and supervisors by being reliable, transparent, and open to discussion. These experiences helped me mobilize people around shared research goals and strengthen my ability to guide a project.
