Supervision & Researcher Development

Supervision is part of how I build research capacity: developing independent judgement, connecting methods to meaningful questions, and helping engineers move between computation, design, experiment and clinical context.

Public-display Principle

Full names are retained for doctoral and postdoctoral researchers whose appointments or theses are publicly documented. Other student names are reduced to initials, and project titles are simplified to minimise personal data while preserving the academic record.
