For Graduate Students

If you have an undergraduate degree in mathematics and you are interested in a career involving mathematical modelling or dynamical systems theory then you can apply to study for the M.Sc. and/or Ph.D. degrees in Applied Mathematics under my supervision.

For general information about graduate study in Applied Mathematics at McMaster University, see http://www.math.mcmaster.ca/graduate/.

Another opportunity to apply to study under my supervision can be found through McMaster's School of Computational Science and Engineering.

If you do not have sufficient mathematical background for graduate study in mathematics, but you are mathematically inclined and interested in mathematical modelling, you can apply for graduate study in the Department of Biology but be supervised by me, or co-supervised by me and a Biology Faculty Member. Alternatively, you can apply for graduate study in the Department of Psychology Neuroscience & Behaviour (PNB) but be co-supervised by me and a PNB Faculty Member. If you are interested in this possibility then you should contact me by e-mail before submitting your application.

Most graduate students are supported by a combination of teaching assistantships (TAs), Departmental scholarships, University scholarships, and external scholarships. Departmental scholarships are usually funded from the research grants of faculty members and Department funds. University scholarships are listed here. Further information can be obtained from the Graduate Calendar, the SGS Awards and Funding page or other parts of the web site of the School of Graduate Studies.

The main sources of external funding for graduate study are NSERC Canada Graduate Scholarships (CGS-M, CGS-D) and Ontario Graduate Scholarships. If you are computationally oriented then there may be opportunities for funding associated with SHARC-Net. Other opportunities for funding include Microsoft's PhD Fellowship Program, The W. L. Mackenzie King Memorial Scholarships, and Philomathia fellowships.
