In three words or phrases: Supportive & spontaneous, analytic & interpretative.

Provision of Training

I prefer to discuss with you regarding the alternatives first, the agreed principal methodological approach will be based on theoretical research. I’d then like to encourage you to independently figure out adjustments and changes in the methods from Year 2 onwards.

Progression Monitoring and Management

This project involves some key elements and supervising team members, I would go for a GANTT chart for the monitoring the progress, outputs and issues.

Communication

Regular meetings with the supervisor team will be an interactive way to communicate the progress and address if any concerns – whichever means we will be using.

PhD Students can expect scheduled meetings with me:

These meetings will be a mixture of face to face and via video chat or telephone. I have an open-door policy, though my pattern of being contactable for an instant response is not predictable.

Work 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 2 weeks' notice to provide feedback on written work of up to 5000 words.
