Prof Andrew Gilbey BSc, PhD, APAM

Professor

Doctoral Mentor Supervisor
School of Aviation

I have been with the School of Aviation since 2005. I have a BSc(Hons) and a PhD, both in Psychology (Plymouth and Warwick, respectively), and both are accredited by the British Psychological Society. I would describe my primary area of research as applied aviation psychology (e.g., pilot decision-making, risk taking, and confidence judegements), although occasionally I collaborate with researchers on other projects of interest. Much of my research uses experimental methods and primary-data, although I also have experience of systematic review methodology (I have been lead author on 3 systematic reviews and supervised several student's systematic reviews).  

My research has been featured in the British Psychological Society's Digest and has been written about in newspapers such as the Independent (UK) and the HR website HRZone; I have also commented in various national and international newspaper articles.

In addition to supervising PhDs (11 completed so far), I have supervised 20 Master’s theses. I have also examined numerous PhDs and theses.

I won the College of Business Supervisor's Award (2014) and Ƶ's Research Translation Competition (2016).

I am avaiable to supervise further Masters and PhD theses that are consistent with my research interests.

I am a member of the Amercian Psychological Association.

Andrew has a BSc(Hons) (Plymouth) and a PhD (Warwick) in Psychology. Much of his research is in applied aviation psychology. His research has been featured in the British Psychological Society's Digest and has been mentioned in many media outlets.

He has supervised  to completion 11 PhDs and 20 Master’s theses.

Andrew won the College of Business Supervisor's Award (2014) and the Research Translation Competition (2016).

He has been an associate editor for The International Journal of Aerospace Psychology and an international editor for FACT and is a member of the American Psychological Association.

Teaching and Supervision

Teaching Statement

I have taught courses 190/225/340/704 for more than 15 years. This has been by choice, as I enjoy teaching all three. Feedback from students is highly postive - people seem to enjoy each of these courses, even if they are core courses they have have to complete.

I get a great deal of satisfaction out of teaching all three courses. In 190.225 I love seeing people learn how research works - quite often starting with little knowledge. In 190340 - the major emphasis is on developing student's ability to think critically about an extremely important area of aviation. The ability to think critically is a very important part of being degree educated. In my postgraduate course, 190704, We work to hone basic skills in research so that in principle you would be able to conduct research that could be pubished in academic journals. Many past students have done so!

Graduate Supervision Statement

My style of supervsion will vary according to an individual student's requirements and the stage of their degree. Generally, I am neither highly directive nor completely hands-off; somewhere in between best describes the approach I personally find most comfortable. That said, I will tend slightly more toward being directive in the early and the latter stages of supervison and slightly more towards hands-off in the middle. From postgraduate students, for the most part, I hope to see high levels of self-motivation and a passion for study/research. I will be the person on stage clapping the loudest when you graduate!
