Supervision

Over the years I have supervised several PhD and MSc students. This is a teaching activity I really enjoy. I’m always impressed how fast these students obtain new technical skills, like applying the SPHY model in their case studies. I’m always open to new student projects. So, if you are interested in my research and want to learn to use SPHY in a specific case study, please contact me through email or in any other way. See my contact details at the bottom of the page.
