Workstyle

I have been greatly benefiting from “apprenticeship”-style mentorship throughout my academic training and professional career. As a result, I am a strong supporter and practitioner of this mentoring approach.

This style emphasizes close collaboration between mentor and mentee, working side-by-side on real projects, thinking through problems together, and learning by doing. It allows for deep intellectual exchange, personalized guidance, and long-term professional development.

Of course, this approach has its trade-offs. On the pro side, it fosters meaningful collaboration, accelerates skill acquisition, and builds lasting scholarly relationships. On the con side, it limits the number of students I can closely mentor at any given time.

I prioritize quality over quantity in mentorship. If you are looking for a highly engaged, hands-on advisor who will treat your success as a shared project, this mentoring style may be a good fit for you.
