For prospective grads: I am actively recruiting students who want to take graduate study at UVic. If you are interested in what I am doing (I highly encourage the applicants to take a look at my recent papers and my student's theses first) and/or you think I will be interested in what you are doing, please let me know by sending your CV and PS in PDF or TXT format through email with [app] included in the subject line. But if you are interested in graduate study at UVic, you will have to apply at UVic Graduate Admissions, so I can see your full documents (you can indicate my name if you want---finally we have an electronic system, and I can see your file easily---we now have many strong applicants ;-). Thanks.

Also consider our new and popular industrial Master's program!
