Research Supervision

Please review the information about my research if you are interested in discussing possible PhD projects to ensure your research interests are aligned with my current work. Requests for PhD supervision will only be considered if they are accompanied by: a) a current CV, b) transcript of results for most recent academic studies, and c) a short outline of proposed topic.
