If you are interested in pursuing either a Master's degree or a doctoral degree under my supervision, I outline below some
of the steps to take to begin the application process. Our department strives to ensure that all full-time graduate students
(both domestic and international) will be offered competitive financial support in the form of one or some: a competitive
graduate fellowship, a teaching assistant-ship, plus a research stipend from the Graduate Faculty supervisor. Detailed
application instructions and application components are further outlined here . In addition, more information concerning
our graduate program in Mathematics and Statistics can be found here .

Any prospective students or fellows interested in working with me or my research team and with research interest in both
Linear Algebra or Matrix Theory and/or Discrete Mathematics, please feel free to contact me at anytime via email or phone.
If you wish, send me a current resume (including research interests) and (unofficial) transcripts to receive an informal
preliminary assessment from me in due course. This does not represent a formal application to join our department but
rather is an informal discussion to determine if such an opportunity may be of mutual interest.

Below is a list of current and former individuals that I have supervised here at the University of Regina.
