Education

I have worked in the field of Paleoceanography for 38 years. I am an expert in foraminiferal taxonomy and isotope ratio mass spectrometry (IRMS). I have spent 5 years of my life at sea on research vessels around the world, collecting deep-sea sediment cores, water and sediment trap material. My experience in scientific academia is a unique combination of hands-on and managerial experience with many types of instruments and all levels of students from high school to Ph.D. It has been my privilege to manage 3 world-class academic analytical laboratories. My skill set has evolved and expanded with each position I have held. I presently have two jobs at Singapore’s Nanyang Technological Uni.
