My supervisor is amazing intellectually, people who are now 15 years into their post-doc careers, having been supervised by him, still have that sense of intellectual awe I have - unfortunately I never see them!
My supervisor, a *star* academic, took me on for a Phd in a year where I had already registered at another university in another country. She was at the time guiding my Masters work. Our conversations, especially over summer, by email, discussing books, the field, the future of the field, articles, papers, conferences, my career dreams, goals, ambitions, has been *amazing*. Even before the PhD started officially, there was such a tremendous amount of intellectual exchange and resonance. All her other students love working with her, as far as I am concerned, her work is outstanding, she inspires me tremendously and brings out the very best in me.8-)
Ohhh!! yeah!! My supervisor is a ROCKSTAR!!! He has sound scientific knowledge, always around to help me, is a very patient person and very humble. I have loads of things to learn from him not just scientifically but also as a person. He is the HOD of the Uni and has absolutely no ego abt him. One of things what I like most abt him is that he gives me the freedom to take most of my decisions myself. He was very helpful before I came to UK, I had some visa problems and health problems and he was there for me always. Its like a dream come true. Touchwood!!!!:-x
