Communication and Mentorship Approach
My advising adapts to where you are in your program. Early on I give structured guidance. As you grow, I step back and let you lead. We hold regular group meetings so the team works together rather than in isolation. My door is open. Come find me, or send me a message, whenever you need advice.

Teamwork and Research Environment
The group works as a team. Share what you know with your peers. Contribute to our joint projects with collaborators at other institutions. Take part in group discussions, solve problems together, and give your peers honest, constructive feedback.

Research and Professional Expectations
Read the literature in your area, and keep reading it throughout your program. You plan and run your own experiments or simulations, analyze the data, and present the results. MASc projects are usually narrower in scope and shorter in timeline than PhD projects. Either way, I expect you to build independence and think critically. Authorship order follows contribution. The primary contributor is listed first and my name goes last.

Feedback and Development
I give feedback continuously, in our discussions and on your written work. Proofread your drafts before you send them. Send manuscripts, theses, and proposals well ahead of any external deadline so I have time to read them properly. I also want your feedback. Tell me how the group can support your progress better.

Each semester you will write a short progress report. Cover what you achieved, your plan for the next semester, and any obstacles you hit. These reports form the basis of your official review and complement the informal feedback you get along the way.

Conferences, Professional Growth, and Internships
Engage with the wider research community. Present at conferences. Attend seminars. Build collaborations. I support training in scientific communication, research ethics, and interdisciplinary methods. I encourage internships and external placements when they fit your academic goals.

Expectations for Completion
MASc students usually finish in two years. PhD students finish in about four to five years. These timelines hold if you keep up steady progress and consistent effort.

Inclusion in Our Group
The group welcomes students and researchers of all backgrounds, and everyone should have a fair chance to join and to succeed here.

• Recruitment. Positions are posted publicly with clear criteria based only on the skills the project needs. I assess research potential, not prior access to laboratory equipment, and I consider career interruptions and non-traditional paths. Applications from groups underrepresented in aerospace and mechanical engineering are especially encouraged.
• Training. New members first build and use a simple, low-cost diagnostic before working with lasers and high-pressure systems, so hands-on skill does not depend on previous experience. Writing support is given step by step, and you present first to the group, then at national meetings, then internationally.
• Flexibility. Experiments are planned in blocks that fit around caregiving and other commitments. Flexible hours and time for religious and cultural observances are available to everyone, without the need to ask.
• Shared leadership. Roles such as lab safety lead and meeting chair rotate, so every member gains supervisory experience.

Code of Conduct

• Act with integrity. Report data and results honestly. Never fabricate, falsify, or plagiarize.
• Use AI tools as aids only. They can help you learn, debug, or polish your own wording, but the ideas, analysis, writing, and code you submit must be your own. Disclose any use your journal, conference, or program requires.
• Treat everyone with respect. Harassment and discrimination have no place in this group.
• Follow lab safety rules at all times. If something is unsafe, stop and tell me.
• Keep clear records. Your data, code, and notes stay with the group and must be documented so others can follow them.
• Credit others fairly and keep unpublished results confidential.
• Communicate openly and meet your commitments. If you are stuck or falling behind, say so early.
• If you experience or witness harassment, discrimination, or unsafe behaviour, tell me. If you prefer to raise it outside the group, contact 麻豆视频鈥檚 Human Rights Services or your graduate program director.
