At UofA and Amii, there exists a highly collaborative culture wherein members of the SODALab actively engage in a diverse array of research groups, primarily through co-supervision or joint projects. Additionally, we foster close collaborations with external colleagues spanning various disciplines, such as operations research, theoretical computer science, electrical engineering, among others.

Prospective Undergraduate Students

We are always interested in hosting undergraduate summer research interns (e.g., NSERC USRA, URI@UofA) or having motivated UofA undergraduate students join the lab during the academic year. Students with a strong interest in mathematics and algorithms are especially encouraged to apply. If interested, please email your CV and transcript to Dr. Tan (xiaoqi.tan@ualberta.ca).

Prospective Graduate Students

We are constantly looking for highly motivated graduate students at both the MSc and PhD level. For more details, please read Dr. Tan’s Letter to Prospective Students.

Prospective Postdoctoral Research Fellows

If you are interested in joining the lab as a postdoc, please send your CV to Dr. Tan (xiaoqi.tan@ualberta.ca). We might get back to you if there is a match in background and research interests (subject to funding availability).

Prospective Visitors

We welcome visitors from a range of disciplines such as computer science, applied mathematics, operations research, electrical engineering, etc. If you believe we share some common research interest and want to visit the lab, feel free to reach out.
