If you or anyone you know would like to embark on an exciting career in research, would just like to have a taste of what it would be like to be a minion, or want to get involved in world domination, please get in touch with me! I am looking for both undergrad researchers, and MSc candidates. Take a look at the Undergrad Research Projects that are available (or propose one), or take a gander at some of the Current Projects underway in my group, or some of the Past Projects to get a sense for what we do.

If these things seem interesting, feel free to fire me an email. Include the following (I will not review anything without all four items)::

  1. A good knock knock joke
  2. Unofficial transcript
  3. Resume
  4. Sample of writing (e.g. an essay you wrote)
