Graduate Opportunities (MSc or PhD)

I am always interested in finding students with great potential to be a graduate student. If you are interested in working in my laboratory, please send a CV and transcripts by e-mail with an idea of what kind of project interests you. Funding is not always available, but opportunities often arise. If you have scholarship funding and are looking for an opportunity to pursue graduate studies, I encourage you to contact me. Please read up on the research projects currently underway in my laboratory and give an indication of what interests you and why your background is appropriate for that project. I receive many emails from prospective students, so I may not have a chance to reply to all messages. If you make it very clear how your background is appropriate for this lab, I will be more apt to reply!
