Students

I supervise students’ research in a structured manner, with clear goals for both short-term exploration and long-term deep dive. My aim is to keep everyone engaged with the latest advancements in the field, while helping my graduate students stay focused on their core research problems. To support this, I involve many undergraduate students in exploratory projects focused on emerging algorithms. This creates a collaborative environment where knowledge is shared across the lab and students learn from one another.

I currently co-supervise 5 PhD and 9 MASc students, and have worked with 130 undergraduate students since 2022.
