Yannis P. Pitsiladis Professor, Hong Kong Baptist University, Hong Kong. Dr. Pitsiladis didactic philosophy at all levels is best summarised as being research-driven and evidence-based but packaged in a great deal of enthusiasm. In terms of postgraduate supervision, his approach is based on teamwork, cutting edge technology with particular emphasis on research impact where each team member of the research team feels empowered that their individual contribution is essential towards a common goal. His supervisory approach is "hands on�, thus allowing him to get to know each student well so that he can assist in their holistic development in a manner that can best be summarised as "bringing up children with different interests but having only three years at best to do it�. This approach has served Dr. Pitsiladis well as reflected by numerous student awards (e.g. best presentation at Young Physiologists Symposium, Coventry, 25-26th September, 2003; Young Investigator Award, 14th European Congress on Obesity, Athens, June 1-4, 2005; 2013 Bar-Or International Scholar Award of the American College of Sports Medicine; 2013 Charles M. Tipton National Student Research Award of the American College of Sports Medicine; Prof Tom Reilly Doctoral Dissertation of the Year Award 2014; 2016 Aspetar Young Investigator Award at the World Congress of Sports Medicine, Ljubljana, Slovenia) and the standing of his students long after they have graduated (e.g. numerous academic positions including Professors at institutions such as Oxford and Cambridge and even a Secretary General of an Olympic Committee).
