Visiting researchers

Master’s projects
If you’re a Master’s student at UWA or ANU looking for an individual research project, you should have a good GPA, some research background, solid programming skills and enough time in your schedule to commit to research.
Honours projects
I supervise two to three UWA Honours students each year and prefer 24-unit projects.
