Provision of Training
I prefer to take responsibility for your technical training at first, leading to more independence later.
Progression Monitoring and Management
I like to be kept up to date, and will expect to see evidence of development on a weekly basis.
Communication
I am known to email my team/PhD students at all hours of the day, however I will not expect you to do the same.
Meetings
PhD Students can expect scheduled meetings with me at least once per week. These meetings will be face-to-face. I am usually contactable for an instant response on 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.
