There are no postdoctoral openings in my group at the moment.
I have research opportunities in the areas of mathematics of data science and computational mathematics at the graduate level. I look forward to offering them to highly motivated students with a strong mathematical background and good programming skills.
Please check the Department website for more information on our graduate programs and how to apply:
https://www.concordia.ca/artsci/math-stats/programs/graduate.html
I usually supervise undergraduate students in the summer through the Concordia and the NSERC Undergraduate Student Research Award (USRA) Programs. If you are interested in these opportunities, please contanct me via email in January.
