Ph.D. Supervision

I am an enthusiastic supervisor of PhD students and have won the Supervisory Excellence Award of the KCL Faculty of Natural, Mathematical and Engineering Sciences on two separate occasions (in 2011 and 2023).

In addition, two of the students that I supervised have won an Elsevier Outstanding PhD Thesis Prize.

For details of the theses that I have supervised see here.
