James was a great guide during my first ever research project as a high schooler! He was especially good at recommending relevant papers to read, as well as providing feedback on research directions and drafts. Although we never met in person due to being located far away, he was also very easy to communicate with via emails and weekly calls.

I worked with Professor James Unwin on a year-long research project, and it was a very great experience! I met with him once a week to discuss progress and ways to proceed. He was great at explaining difficult concepts in a way that was easy to understand. I was able to learn so much about new topics and the overall research process while working with James.
