Graduate Students:
If you are interested in doing your MSc or PhD with me, and you have a strong background or potential in theoretical physics,
computational physics, or biological physics, then
get in touch with me directly. Also, do a pre-application to the department (no fee required). While sometimes I will have funds for a student without fellowship support, typically you need to have a strong chance of getting support in the future. This can be NSERC PGSM support (typically GPA 3.9+) or NS government fellowship (typically GPA 3.7+). Some of these are open to international students as well.
Undergraduate Students:
I'm always happy to supervise a 4th year honours project in biological physics, soft-condensed matter, statistical physics, or medical science.
Summer is also a wonderful time to do science. I work one-on-one with summer research students. I have a good record of publications with students.
NSERC USRA or other funding is a strong plus (see link
here, but apply through Dal physics).
Postdocs:
2026: We recruit a postdoc for an interdisciplinary project on the physics of aging at Dalhousie University (Halifax, Canada), starting as early as Feb 2026 (before October 2026). If you bring data science, statistics, or machine learning skills—and experience in health research, statistical physics, or geroscience—you’ll collaborate with Profs. Kenneth Rockwood (Geriatric Medicine) and Andrew Rutenberg (Physics) to develop and analyze dynamical models and measures of health using primary and emergency care data. We’re looking for someone articulate, creative, and pioneering. Submit applications to here (open until the end of Feb). CIRTA (impact+ training) awards are possible for exceptional applicants currently outside of Canada, but the internal deadline is Feb 9.
Externally funded postdocs are always welcome. Contact me if you have a strong publication record, and we can submit
applications.
