Teaching and Supervision

Graduate Supervision Statement

Passion is the key to succeed in research and is the most important driver for students to overcome any difficulties and get through hard times during their research journey. As a supervisor, I aim to work closely with my students, inspire them to find topics they are passionate about, motivate them to keep their passion alive, and provide guidance for their learning at each stage of their research studies. I aim to create a learning environment in which students can explore their research interests openly, knowing that they will be understood and supported.


Dr Maggie Hao is available for Masters and Doctorial supervision.
