For Students and Postdoctoral Fellows

In this space, I have assembled information that should be of interest to students and postdoctoral fellows that are either already studying under my supervision or who are interested in doing research with me.

• How to get a good reference letter: Obtaining strong letters of reference is an essential part of any successful application for a job, scholarship or graduate school position. But this is something most students don't think about or plan for until it's too late. This page has tips on how to ensure you maximize your chances of getting a good reference letter (from me).

• Research and funding opportunities: This is where I post specific information about funding available for undergraduates, graduate students, and postdoctoral fellows. If you have an interest in working with me, then please contact 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: Slide from a workshop I give 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: an active student organization that runs local activities and gives students an opportunity to get involved in the world's largest professional society for applied mathematics.

• 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.
