Faculty Advisors available in Fall quarter of 2025/2026

Attaining graduate degrees (M. Sc. or Ph.D.) requires verification of knowledge and skills by completion of graduate work and passing the exams. To define the area of your work and the title of your dissertation, the newly accepted students have to choose and contact the Faculty Advisors. They will guide you and validate that work. The Advisors are Principal Investigators on the projects conducted at the SFU. Depending on the saturation of staff and student resources, the availability of positions changes, e.g., when students graduate and leave. The Following Faculty Advisors are available during the Fall quarter of 2025/2026 Academic Year.
