2. Knowledge transfer
- 56 undergraduate and masters students for MATH3004, MATH5001, MATH5003, MATH6001 and MATH6004.
- 4 honour students for STAT4000, STAT4001, NPSC3000, and NPSC4001, especially Mr Aden Pegler obtained first-class honour.
- 13 PhD students to completion (2 as main supervisor and 11 as co-supervisor). Particularly, Mr Fahad Aljuaydi, the PhD under my supervision, received a commendation from the Chancellor of the university for the high quality of the thesis. The letter is shown on the left.
- Additionally, I have also served as a cross-university co-advisor for 6 PhD students from Mahidol University. The following is the list of students.
These experiences have allowed me to employ a range of effective teaching strategies to facilitate knowledge transfer and skill development among my students. These strategies include:
- Setting clear expectations: Right from the start, I establish clear expectations regarding thesis or dissertation requirements, timelines, academic standards, and research objectives. Emphasising the importance of originality and research ethics ensures students are well-informed and motivated.
- Regular meetings and communication: I prioritise regular meetings with students to discuss progress, address challenges, and outline the next steps in their academic journey. I am readily accessible through email and other communication channels to address queries promptly.
- Feedback and constructive criticism: I am committed to providing timely and constructive feedback on students' work. This approach encourages continuous improvement and enhances the quality of their research.
- Customised approach: Recognising the uniqueness of each student, including their individual strengths, weaknesses, and learning styles, I tailor my teaching methods to meet their specific needs. This personalised approach fosters a supportive and productive learning environment.
- Time management and organisation skills: I guide students in developing essential time management and organisational skills, equipping them with the tools needed to excel in their academic pursuits.
- Advanced Numerical Analysis
- Supply Chain Modelling and Optimisation
