Supervision and Mentoring
Mentoring bright and motivated students is one of the most rewarding aspects of my research. I am grateful for their creativity and curiosity, and for how much I learn from them in return.
Below are the students I have had the pleasure to supervise. If you are a prospective student interested in working with me, feel free to contact my former mentees to learn more about my mentoring style and what collaboration with me looks like.
