Managing change

An aspect of your own experience that demonstrates this skill :
Research projects evolve continuously as new results, constraints, or opportunities emerge. I learned to adapt objectives, methods, and timelines in response to unexpected outcomes, technical limits, or new ideas. When simulations fail or hypotheses change, I reorganize priorities and consult supervisors and colleagues to redefine strategies. Moving between institutions and research topics also required rapid adjustment to new environments, tools, and expectations. These experiences trained me to remain flexible, anticipate impacts of change, and mobilize advice and resources to keep projects coherent and productive despite uncertainty.

Managing risks

An aspect of your own experience that demonstrates this skill :
Although my work is mainly based on numerical simulations, I operate within an institute that hosts experimental laboratories with chemical, physical, and technical hazards. I completed specific training courses on risk prevention, safety procedures, and work environment. These courses taught me to identify potential risks, understand emergency protocols, and adopt responsible behavior in shared spaces. In my projects, I assess technical risks such as data loss, computational failures, and reproducibility issues, and I mitigate them through backups, version control, and validation checks. This context developed my awareness of safety, responsibility, and risk anticipation in a research environment.

Decision-making

An aspect of your own experience that demonstrates this skill :
During my Master’s thesis, I worked largely independently, which required constant decision-making on methods, priorities, and problem-solving strategies. I learned that no solution is perfect: each choice involves trade-offs between accuracy, time, and available resources. I took responsibility for these choices, monitored their outcomes, and revised them when results or constraints changed. Facing technical difficulties and dead ends taught me to reassess assumptions, seek advice when needed, and adjust direction without losing momentum. This experience developed my autonomy, judgment, and ability to make reasoned decisions while accepting their consequences.
