Doctoral Studies

  • In Freiberg I have learned for life:

Working together, playing together and problem-solving together.

  • That has been my field of research:

Thermochronology applied to strike-slip zones, Central America and Myanmar

  • This is put on my doctoral hat/mortarboard:

Fish, sample boxes, counter, strike-slip fault, timer …

  • If I were a Ph.D. student again, I would …

drink more and more Freiberger [beer], walk and visit at underground mining area, go and eat at Katoffelhaus.

University

  • This is very special for me about the Bergakademie:

PhD programme, library, canteen, Christmas Festival, Dom, Bernhard-von-Cotta-Strasse, Winklerstrasse 10B, Akademiestrasse 6

  • My “Good Soul” (most important person) at the university:

Glück auf!

  • Whenever I think about Freiberg, I think of …

beauty, quiet, peace, healthy city, wonder.

And then …

  • For the future I wish:

I would be a professor at TU Bergakademie Freiberg.
