Provision of Teaching
I prefer to take responsibility for your technical training at first, leading to more independence later with continued collaboration.
Progression Monitoring and Management
I like to be kept up to date, and will be available for advice and guidance to help you reach the goals you set for yourself. You can always come to me when you need help troubleshooting.
Communication
I am happy to discuss any issues that are impacting your ability to fulfil your potential or my/our expectations and will promptly refer you to the best people to help you with any problems where I am not able to help with them.
PhD Students can expect scheduled meetings with me:
In a group meeting
At least once per fortnight
In year 1 of PhD study
At least once per fortnight
In year 2 of PhD study
At least once per month
In year 3 of PhD study
At least once per month
These meetings will be a mixture of face to face, via video chat or telephone, and I am usually contactable for an instant response every working day.
Working Pattern
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 2 weeks' notice to provide feedback on written work of up to 5000 words.
