For Students and Postdoctoral Fellows
If you are interested in doing research as a graduate student or
postdoctoral fellow under my supervision, then please visit this page on
research opportunities for students and postdocs.
Below is some additional information that I hope is of value
to students/PDFs who are either already working under my supervision or
who are interested in doing research with me:
- How to obtain a strong
reference letter:
Obtaining strongly supportive letters of reference is an essential part of a
successful application for a job, scholarship or graduate school
application. But letters are something that most students don't think about
or plan for until it is too late. This page has some tips on how to
ensure you maximize your chances of getting a good reference
letter (from me).
- Tips for new students and postdocs: If
you have recently arrived at SFU or are planning to study here,
then this page provides lots of essential information to plan your
visit and make your transition to life at SFU as smooth as
possible.
- NSERC scholarship applications:
Slides from a workshop I present regularly to math students on how to
prepare an application to NSERC
for a Master's (CGS-M) or doctoral (PGS/CGS-D) scholarship.
- SFU's
SIAM Student Chapter: A student-led organization that runs local
activities (work-related and social) and gives students an opportunity
to get involved in the world's largest applied math society.
- Reading list: A list of my favourite
books on math-related topics. Feel free to come borrow these from
me if you're interested.
- PhD comics by Jorge Cham:
Provides a light-hearted view of research and
graduate student life that is worth a good laugh every once in a
while.
