Matthew Inglis from Loughborough University Named Outstanding Research Supervisor of the Year 2017
We’re very proud to announce that Dr Matthew Inglis, from Loughborough University, has won the Outstanding Research Supervisor of the Year award at the 2017 THE Awards.
Dr Inglis was one of 6 research supervisors from across the UK shortlisted for the award sponsored by the Council. The category acknowledges the individual who created the most supportive, stimulating and inspirational research environment for PhD students or professional doctoral students.
Dr Inglis stood out from other nominations this year for his work in inspiring and challenging doctoral students at Loughborough University’s Mathematics Education Centre (MEC).
The judging panel, included the UKCGE’s Chair Professor Rosemary Deem, commended Dr Inglis for ensuring that students acquired knowledge of cutting-edge research methods, while providing the with good guidance and making sure that they submitted theru these on time. The judges citation states:
“Dr Inglis completed his PhD only 10 years ago and has been at the MEC for eight years, but in that time he has demonstrated admirable leadership skills, creating an internationally outstanding research environment with state-of-the-art equipment for his students.
He has also built connections with international research groups, securing funding to provide up to three students each year with the opportunity to participate in specialist workshops with colleagues from Freiburg, Harvard and Maastricht universities, among others.
His care in supervising students extends to organising research events that bring academic staff and doctoral students together to share work, and also to helping them to successfully apply for and complete fellowships at the Royal Society and the Economic and Social Research Council.”
Many congratulations to Dr Inglis from everyone at the UK Council for Graduate Education.
