| 1.00 | Summary: Only suitable for highly independent PhD candidates who require zero guidance. For Master’s students, his supervision style is actively damaging and can jeopardize your future academic career. Core Issues with Supervision and Grading: 1. Contradictory Feedback & Unfair Grading: Throughout several interviews (so called defense sessions), the professor explicitly praised my written thesis, calling it remarkably well-written and admirable. I even received the highest grade in the thesis seminar presentation because my topic and research approach were exceptionally strong. Despite this, he used the oral interviews to intentionally trap me with hyper-specific questions to justify giving me a mediocre grade, claiming my "understanding was bad." 2. Severe Bias Against Working Students: If you secure a job before graduation, this professor automatically assumes you are neglecting your studies. Instead of evaluating the actual written work fairly, he used the defense interviews punitively to validate his assumption that I "only cared about the job." 3. Unreasonably Harsh Standards Compared to the University: Other professors across different technology and engineering departments in this same university do not even conduct oral defense interviews; they grade directly based on the quality of the written work and award good grades fairly. This professor, however, expects independent PhD-level expertise from a Master's student without providing the foundational guidance a supervisor is supposed to give. 4. Damaging Academic Consequences: While my grades across all other courses were excellent, this single supervisor's biased and unfair grading heavily impacted my GPA. As a result, it ruined my opportunities for PhD admissions and research positions in academia. Advice to Future Students: Do not be fooled by his impressive research profile. Avoid choosing him as a supervisor if you are planning a future career in academia or if you intend to work towards the end of your studies. His grading process is deeply biased and can ruin your academic prospects, even if your actual thesis write-up is outstanding. | University of Turku | Aug 18, 2026 |

| 1.00 | I did a postdoc with her, and she made no contributions to my research: no insights during meetings, no support, nothing. Her only contribution was adding her name to the drafts as a corresponding author and including other colleagues whom, I assume, she owed a favor. | University of Antwerp | Aug 17, 2026 |

| 2.00 | Provides sarcastic remarks instead of helpful direction. Overall seems uninterested in actually supporting students but very much concerned with upholding her own public image. | Queensland University of Technology | Aug 17, 2026 |
| 2.00 | Encourages students to think independently. | Murdoch University | Aug 17, 2026 |

| 2.00 | Anyone you ask will tell you she's unfair with grading, and is not the best at organizing lectures. | Göteborg University | Aug 16, 2026 |
| 1.00 | Die nervigste, arroganteste, respektloseste und rassistischste Person, die ich je in meinem Leben getroffen habe. Sie macht alles so schwer und nörgelt ständig darüber, dass die Schüler dumm sind, hilft ihnen aber nie dabei, den Stoff zu verstehen. Absolut schrecklich. Ich bin wirklich froh, dass ich jetzt fertig bin. | Hochschule für Technik und Wirtschaft des Saarlandes | Aug 16, 2026 |

| 2.00 | Horrible lecturer. Does not teach anything in labs and is late to labs. Also does not reply to email messages and procrastinated assignment announcement until Week 11 or 12 of the 13 Week semester. Was given less than 3 weeks for a complicated assignment with AI generated instructions and with barely any guidance at all. Asks us to spend the 2 hour lab session to "self learn" and "ask him questions" if we have any. | Sunway University | Aug 13, 2026 |
