Guidelines for Prospective MSc/Ph.D. Students:

• Thank you for your interest in my research, ECE and the University of Alberta.
• I typically recruit about 2 new students a year.
• A typical student I would recruit would have most (not necessarily all) of the following traits:
  
  • Top GPA at one of their country's top universities, and other top academic credentials. A high GRE score is also important, but not critical. You also have to satisfy the English language requirements (see the  links below).
  • BSc/MSc degrees in EE, Math, or Physics.
  • A strong aptitude and curiosity for fundamental research, demonstrated usually by early-career research achievements. PhD applicants should have several publications, for instance.
  • Please check out my research team webpage to see the type of students in my group and what they are working on.
• I cannot reply to every e-mail I receive. I will only reply to students whom I have a high probability/interest in recruiting.
• If you do decide to e-mail me, please send a resume which clearly indicates your GPA, GRE scores, awards, and publications. Also, please indicate why you are interested in working with me.
• Please check the following links on ECE graduate admission requirements, FGSR requirements, and about Edmonton living.
