I have had the pleasure of being a PhD and previously MSc Student under the exceptional supervision of Dr Trevor Crawford for the past three years. Not only is Trevor an exceptional academic who inspires me to achieve academic success in the domain of cognitive neuropsychology daily. He is also an extremely conscientious diligent supervisor who holds his student’s health and wellbeing with equal regard to their academic successes. This combination of academic  rigour combined with conscientiousness I believe makes Trevor an excellent supervisor.

​

Throughout the duration of both my Msc and PhD thus far Trevor has provided me with countless opportunities and opened the world of academia to me. Perhaps most notably Trevor has facilitated a long standing collaborative project with Associate Professor Jeffrey Hamm from the University of Auckland NZ, a leading psychophysicist with a keen interest for attentional visual illusions. Trevor has worked with Jeffrey for many years on an outstandingly robust visual illusion. Through this academic collaboration we have been able to combine Trevor and my own experiences with Parkinson’s Disease with Jeffrey’s psychophysics experience to develop a series of highly novel high impact studies. Without Trevor’s connection this would have not been possible. Additionally, Trevor has facilitated an early link between myself and the highly prestigious OXQUIP research laboratory who aim to develop effective tests of Parkinson’s. The two circumstances highlighted above are just two of the very many collaborative opportunities and conferences Trevor has facilitated my engagement in throughout the duration of my PhD.  Without a shadow of a doubt Trevor has been an exceptional supervisor and is an exceptional academic. The time and passion he dedicates to his work and is second to none.
