In three words or phrases: supportive, understanding, goal-driven and guiding.
Provision of Training
I prefer to take responsibility for your technical training at first, leading to more independence later.
Progression Monitoring and Management
I like to be kept up to date, and will expect to see evidence of method development/data generation results on a daily/weekly basis. I have high expectations and will push you to your full potential, but I am also here for advice and guidance to help you reach the goals.
Communication
The team has a WhatsApp group chat with which we regularly communicate during the week. Whilst I expect you to keep up with my/ team communications I will encourage you to manage your work/life balance.
Meetings
PhD Students can expect scheduled meetings with me at least once per week. These meetings will be face to face. I am usually contactable for an instant response 3 or 4 days per week.
Work Patterns
Work in my lab requires being present on site (be it in a laboratory or at a field site) during the core hours of 9am - 5pm (or a subset if working part time).
Notice Period for Feedback
I need at least 2 weeks' notice to provide feedback on written work of up to 5000 words.
