Students
Research supervision/advising
Currently I do not have any new funding for PhD scholarships.
If you have funding for a scholarship and would like to consider applying for a PhD scholarship in our lab, please first read our Missions and values to ensure that our lab aligns with what you aim to do.
Direct contact opportunities
I receive many queries regarding supervision, many of which are spam. As such, I only respond to queries that I believe are genuine. If you would like to approach me regarding PhD or MPhil supervision, please demonstrate that that your and my research interests are aligned.
Potential student interns: I do not usually have funding for internships. When I do, I recruit from University of Queensland students. I am unable to consider any requests for paid internships.
