In a few words or phrases: outcome-oriented, supportive, goal-driven, guiding, understanding.
Provision of Teaching
From the beginning of your PhD I will expect you to independently figure out appropriate methods and changes to methodology.
Progression Monitoring and Management
I am here for advice and guidance to help you reach the goals you set for yourself. Anyway, you will take full ownership of your progression and come to me when you need help troubleshooting.
Communication
Whenever you need me you are welcome to see me.
PhD Students can expect scheduled meetings with me:
In a group meeting
At least once per month
In year 1 of PhD study
At least once per week
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 mainly face to face, 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 1 month’s notice to provide feedback on written work of up to 5000 words.
