Student research supervision

Supervising postgraduate research is one of the most rewarding aspects of my job. My supervision approach is rooted in the belief that postgraduate students are apprentice researchers, and I aim to equip them with not only academic knowledge but also practical research skills, such as project management, budgeting, and information searching. I frame each research project as a series of manageable phases, drawing on my own experience in research project management. My supervision style is methodical, affirmative, and hands-on, balancing the provision of practical guidance with pastoral care. I recognize that students are whole individuals, and research, especially in its early stages, can be emotionally challenging.
