Prospective Students

I am always interested in working with passionate students whose research interests are aligned with mine.

I am a hands-on supervisor that likes to work closely together with my students. We are a team working toward shared goals. My priority is to help you succeed in your research and your career. This means graduating with your degree on time, performing high-quality research, and emphasizing opportunities and skill development to prepare you for the job market or seeking further education.

My research lab welcomes students of any gender expression, sexual orientation, nationality, religion, ethnicity or visible or invisible disability.

I have a variety of opportunities available for both undergraduate and graduate students. Please read about my research interests to learn about the type of research performed by my group.

PhD Thesis Supervision - Fall 2026 Opening

I am recruiting a PhD student to work in the intersection of computational astrophysics, fluid dynamics, and artificial intelligence.

The general research area will focus on the combination of machine learning with computational fluid dynamics. Specifically, we will use machine learning models to augment traditional astrophysical, multi-physics smoothed particle hydrodynamics (SPH) simulations. We will mostly centre on the type of astrophysics implemented in the Phantom SPH code, meaning that a wide range of astrophysical domains are possible directions.

An ideal student would have experience and interest in building and training neural network models, as well as a suitable background in either physics, astrophysics, mathematics or computational science. Strong technical programming ability is necessary. Familiarity with deep learning frameworks (TensorFlow or PyTorch) and HPC environments is a plus.

Interested applicants should email me their CV, transcript and brief statement of research interests.

Master's Thesis Supervision - Closed

I currently do not have any openings for Master's thesis supervision.

Master's of Data Science Capstone Project - Summer 2026 Opening

I offer capstone projects in the general area of synthetic data generation using generative machine learning models.

I usually have availability for one MDSc student to complete their capstone project together with me.

Undergraduate Summer Research - Closed

Undergraduate students can work together with myself and my research team through the SURA and USRA programs. These are 16-week full-time research internships from May to August. Check the Faculty of Science website for more information on the application procedure and timeline. Typically, the application period opens in January, with the applications due in early February.

Note that I do not anticipate having availability to supervise undergraduate summer research projects in Summer 2026.

Honour's Thesis Supervision - Closed

I currently do not have any openings for Honour's thesis supervision.
