My Students

I taught students at universities in Canada, the United States, Europe, and Australia. Some of my former graduate students are on the photographs below. If you are an alumnus/alumna of the M²NeT Lab/Melnik Research Group, you are not forgotten. A reasonably complete list of PhD, Masters, and Honours project students since about 1999 is given below. Please keep in touch.

Melnik Group - Ying Melnik Group - Zhuang
Harish is completing his PhD  at the University of Liege in Belgium Ying has completing her PhD at Technical University of Darmstadt in Germany

 

Melnik Group - Benny Melnik Group - Harsh
Zhuang is completing her PhD at the University of Aalborg in Denmark Benny at his fellowship award at M.I.T.  After his postdoc in Sweden, he returned to Denmark as Assistant Professor
