TEACHING EXPERTISE
In my postgraduate teaching I focus on developing high quality postdoctoral students through effective research training. I encourage my student to make their own decisions and problem solve to help develop these skills. I encourage regular presentation and publication of their work to help develop their profile.
I am looking for high quality students to undertake research in:
• Textile recycling/circularity
• Motorcycle protective clothing
• Composting
