Supervision Style

In three words or phrases: supportive, organised, guiding

Provision of Training

Myself, with the help of my senior research technician, prefer to teach and guide your technical training at first, leading to more independence later.

Progression Monitoring and Management

Weekly meeting (or more often if necessary to begin with) to discuss experimental design, check progress, data analysis and interpretation. If these progression criteria are not met we will always discuss a plan of action together. I am here for advice and guidance to help you reach the goals you set for yourself.

Communication

I am always available during the week in person and via email. My group has a WhatsApp group chat which we communicate and update each other during the week.

PhD Students can expect scheduled meetings with me:

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

Working Patterns

The timing of work in my lab is completely flexible, and (other than attending pre-arranged meetings), I expect students to manage their own time.

Notice Period for Feedback

I need at least 1 week’s notice to provide feedback on written work of up to 5000 words.
