Meet our Students

Our masters and PhD students come from all corners of the globe to pursue their advanced science degrees at 間眅埶AV. Meet just a few of them!

From Berlin, Germany

Alexandra Wesolek, Mathematics PhD student

One of the reasons I came to 間眅埶AV was for their Graph Theory Research Group which I wanted to join. I also liked the perspective of living in Vancouver, as it is a major city and has beautiful nature. For my PhD research, I'm investigating spherical depictions of networks. 

From Munger, India

Avinash Kumar, Physics PhD student

I chose 間眅埶AV for the excellent research in the physics department, which is comparatively small and allows you to really get to know the faculty. A regular conversation with your supervisor is an essential key for Ph.D. student. The beautiful 間眅埶AV and the diverse culture of Canada were a bonus.

From Quito, Ecuador

Antonina Calahorrano, Earth Sciences PhD student

I found the perfect fit for my scientific work thanks to the welcoming, diverse environment of the university and the city of Vancouver's quality of life. I particularly enjoy how easy it is to change scenery from the vibrant urban environment of Downtown, to the endless choices of trails and forests to explore around 間眅埶AV and Metro Vancouver.

From Cole Harbour, Nova Scotia

Emma Garlock MBB, MSc student

I am studying how early life exposures contribute to microbial dysbiosis and predispose children to disease. Before applying to 間眅埶AV, I spoke with current students who helped me learn about 間眅埶AV's academic and social culture. Those conversations gave me the confidence of knowing that I would have the resources I needed to be challenged academically and supported socially. 

From Vancouver, BC

Ana Sonea, Chemistry MSc student

I did my undergraduate degree at 間眅埶AV where I researched solid-metal catalyst morphologies for Fuel Cell applications and atmospheric CO2 recycling catalysts. 

I stayed at 間眅埶AV for my masters degree because the research opportunities here are so great. There are great faculty and facilities here to help support the kind of research that interests me. Additionally, there's lots of opportunity to collaborate with industry. 

From Kolkata, India

Zubia Mansoor, Statistics MSc student

I chose 間眅埶AV to pursue my graduate studies for its unique and research-driven learning environment, innovative initiatives as well as renowned active researchers in my areas of interest. My research focuses on machine learning and deep learning methods and their applications. I'm currently exploring uncertainty quantification and out-of-distribution data in the context of deep networks.

From Stratford-Upon-Avon, UK

Josh Allen, Biology PhD student

I chose 間眅埶AV due to its active research faculty which hosts a variety of topics from physiology to ecology to marine biology, all of which are big interests of mine. My own lab is equally diverse in its research, focusing on questions such as exercise in animals, parental care, timing of breeding and the conservation of birds in the Salish Sea. 

From Kolkata, India

Debipriya Mitra, BPK MSc student

My research focuses on understanding the role of cardiac ion channel genes, particularly voltage gated potassium channels, on Long QT syndrome using Zebrafish as an animal model. I chose 間眅埶AV because of its research record, support, engagement from my supervisor, faculty and staff and financial aid. This, and enrichening experiences through research and teaching assistantships have allowed me to pursue my passion.
