General Reqruiements of Prospective Graduate Students

Students are generally expected to have self-motivated problem-solving skills and a commitment to a high standard of ethics (please see IEEE Code of Ethics and ACM Code of Ethics). In addition to the University graduate program's requirements, students are not required to have domain knowledge of specific research projects but are expected to have a relevant background in engineering/science fields with good experience in the areas of (1) data communication/networks, (2) embedded/accelerator systems, (3) ML, image processing, or data analytics plus solid programming skills (in Rust/C/C++ and Python), or (4) optimization (in math/science/engineering/science contexts). Experience in multiple areas with practical experience is considered an asset. Solid research experience is expected for graduate applicants.

We strive to offer successful training with a solid commitment to equity, diversity, and inclusion (EDI) to students and access to advanced platforms for studies and academic/industry jobs. Students will have opportunities to be supported to publish, attend well-ranked academic events, and interact with leading research/industry communities.

EDI Resources

With a commitment to a high standard of EDI for mentorship, Prof. Hu's team, including students and research fellows, are encouraged to get EDI training from the University's Equity Office and NSERC. EDI resources will be introduced to students at the pre-research discussion.
