During his talk, Professor Su will cover how he dealt with extra commitments such as teaching and operational aspects of his role (HR and finances) whilst still running research projects, including his experience in Cambridge and how it helped him to settled into his new role at the University of Sheffield. He will also answer questions from attendees on different aspects of his role and provide tips on how to approach independence in academia.
