Other Mentoring Activities:

Since 2023, I have been participating as a mentor in the Mentorship Programme offered by the University of Lorraine (FR) to its PhD students. The programme sets up 6-month buddy relationships between doctoral students and mentors who advise the students on their doctoral journey and future career.
