Agenda

• Presentation of the MSCA PF call 2021 - Who, Where, What, When, How? – Speaker: Ms Marlène Bartes, Policy Officer, Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions Unit, DG EAC, European Commission

• "Why I applied for the MSCA Postdoctoral Fellowship - and why you should too" MSCA Fellows from Singapore, Japan and Korea share their experience and advice

• Interactive Q&A

SPEAKERS

Ms Marlène Bartes

Policy Officer, Directorate General for Education, Culture, Youth and Sport (DG EAC), European Commission, Brussels, Belgium

Marlène Bartès joined the European Commission in 2013, where she worked for the unit responsible for international cooperation and programmes in the field of education and training, focusing on collaboration with countries outside the EU. She joined the Marie Skłodowska-Curie (MSCA) Unit in 2020, and currently follows different files including industrialised Asia, reducing the environmental impact of the MSCA programme, as well as support to researchers at risk.

Before joining the Commission, Marlène worked for the Academic Cooperation Association (ACA) in Brussels, a dynamic think tank in the area of international cooperation in higher education. Her passion for international affairs started with her studies, which guided her from France, to Japan and Canada.

MSCA FELLOWS

SOUTH KOREA

Dr. JunKyu LEE

JunKyu Lee received Ph.D. in computer engineering from The University of Tennessee, Knoxville, in 2012. He is currently a Research Fellow at Queen's University Belfast. His research background includes Numerical Linear Algebra, Machine Learning and FPGA computing. He was a Post-Doctoral Research Associate with the Joint Institute for Computational Sciences, The University of Tennessee–Oak Ridge National Laboratory, and a Research Associate with the School of Electrical and Information Engineering, The University of Sydney. He was a recipient of a Marie Skłodowska-Curie Action Individual Fellowship by the European Commission in 2018.

JAPAN

Dr. Norbert KAVASI

Dr. Kavasi works as Senior Researcher at National Institutes for Quantum and Radiological Science and Technology in Japan. He graduated from the Hungarian University of Pannonia in Environmental Engineering and received his PhD in Environmental Science a few years later. Following that, he won the prestigious JSPS scholarship at the Japanese National Institute of Radiological Sciences and stayed on as a senior researcher for almost a decade before transferring to the Fukushima Quantum Science Technology. He will take up his researcher position as a recipient of MSCA grant at Slovenia’s Jozef Stefan Institute in September this year.

SINGAPORE

Dr. Ying-Qi WONG

Dr. Wong is a volcanologist who uses computational models to understand the movement of gases in volcanic systems and how gases control eruption style. Growing up in Singapore, she was always amazed by the natural hazards (earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, tsunami) impacting nearby countries. This led her to pursue the Earth Sciences and subsequently Geophysics because she enjoys working with computational models. She obtained her PhD in Geophysics from Stanford University, USA in 2020, and is now a Marie Curie Postdoctoral Research Fellow at the University of Glasgow, UK.
