Research Opportunities
Interested in joining my research team?
I am always looking for curious and enthusiastic students to be a part of my research team, the Viau Timber Engineering Lab (VTEL). Please email me to discuss research opportunities. Before applying, it is encouraged that prospective research students first review my current research, and then email me to chat about possibilities and openings.
Applicants must have a background in structural engineering, timber engineering, civil engineering, or related fields.
When emailing, prospective students should also compose a cover letter as text in their email. The email should include the following:
- “Viau Research Opportunity” in the subject header;
- an up-to-date CV in PDF format.
- your research interests, and how they align with my areas of research;
- list of your peer-reviewed publications, if any;
- relevant research achievements, skills, and experience;
I will reply if there is a fit!
