Supervision Style

In three words or phrases: open, in-depth, collaborative.

Provision of Training

I believe in working together with the student to give them best theoretical and technical training, followed by regular discussions to maintain the course of work.

Progression Monitoring and Management

At the start of the project, I would like to have regular discussions to ensure the work progression and the understanding of the field. As the student gains experience and expertise, I expect them to design the experiments to take the work forward, discuss the experimental plan and get back to me with updates. At this stage, it is paramount that student reach out to me if they are facing insurmountable problems. Every project comes with an uncertainty of direction, both I and student must be practical and change direction if the project appears stalled. My expectation from the students is that they should become the expert in the field of their work, and I will try my best to provide the support that is needed to achieve this goal.

Communication

I don’t expect my students to spend their entire time at work, having said that, I know it is important that they are supported as much as possible. For this reason, I am available at all reasonable hours. All my students can reach out to me at all normal hours through official channels. For emergencies, you have access to my personal contact information. I am open to discuss queries, concerns, scientific and non-scientific discussions. If you need help with personal matters that are affecting your professional life, I am open to discussions and help you find out possible avenues for help.

PhD Students can expect scheduled meetings with me:

In a group meeting	In year 1 of PhD study	In year 2 of PhD study	In year 3 of PhD study
At least once per fortnight	At least once per fortnight	At least once per month	At least once per month

These meetings will be a mixture of face to face and via video chat or telephone, and I am usually contactable for an instant response on every working day.

Working Pattern

Certain tasks in my lab need to occur at set times, and students need to be able to commit to a rota/timetable shared with other members of the team.

Notice Period for Feedback

I need at least 2 weeks' notice to provide feedback on written work of up to 5000 words.
