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.
