Prospective Students
Thank you for your interest in joining my group! I am looking for motivated students from all backgrounds with strong interests in systems research and applied formal methods.
If you are considering applying, please read the following information carefully. If you have a specific research question, please feel free to send me an e-mail.
Application Process for Graduate Students
Please note that UBC has an online application system through which you must apply. The application deadline is December 15th (double check on the website). If you like to work with me, please select my name as a potential supervisor in the application form.
I cannot and will not review or respond to applications received by e-mail.
Please note that the department receives around 2000 applications each year, so going through all of them takes some time. While I cannot guarantee when precisely you will hear back, you can expect to receive a response sometime in April.
Please also note that I cannot discuss your application outside of the official application process.
Visiting International Research Students
If you are already a graduate student at another institution and would like to do a research visit in my group, then follow the following steps:
- Read the information provided by the program website carefully,
- Discuss the matter with your home institution and your supervisor, then
- Send me an e-mail (ideally using your institutional e-mail address). Please include a brief description of your research interest and your CV.
