I am currently recruiting new MASc and PhD students in the field of medical imaging and image-guided therapy. Full research assistantship support is available. Students holding major scholarships, e.g. NSERC or other national scholarships, are urged to apply at any time, and should indicate this in their communication. NSERC students are eligible for top up scholarships. Students from ECE, CS, MECH and PHYS are encouraged to apply. Previous background in biomedical engineering is less important than academic quality. In order to be considered for graduate studies you must formally apply to either the Department of Electrical & Computer Engineering, or the Biomedical Engineering Program at UBC. All applications are carefully reviewed by staff and faculty in the respective program to which you apply. The formal application process is via the Internet http://www.grad.ubc.ca/application.

I receive a large number of e-mails requesting acceptance to UBC or advice on academic careers. It is not possible for me to respond to all of these emails, so accept my apology if I do not respond to your email. Students with strong academic qualifications are encouraged to submit formal applications to UBC. I will review formal applications to our department that meet UBC Graduate Studies requirements and indicate interest in studying in my lab. If you wish to study with me, please add my name as a potential supervisor to your application so that it will be flagged to my attention. Feel free to e-mail me that you have done so, and add a short description of why you wish to study in my research area.

I accept a combination of Canadian and international students. I look closely at applicants with good grades and publication record from Sharif University of Technology, University of Tehran, Amirkabir University, and Isfahan University of Technology (Iran), an IIT (India), Tsinghua University (China), and good universities in the United States, Europe and Canada.
