Selection of an advisor for your CPS040 thesis

Thesis projects done in CPS040 must be done under the supervision of a faculty advisor, with whom you will meet on a weekly basis. The faculty advisor may design a project for you to work on, or you can propose a project to one of your professors to see if he or she would be willing to supervise it. Professors may have potential projects listed on their websites. Professors with an interest in supervising thesis projects are listed below, along with their general areas of interest. You can approach them in person or look at their websites to find a project that you would like to work on. There is also the possibility of doing a project through UCOSP, (Undergraduate Capstone Open Source Projects) where you work on specified projects with students and mentors from across Canada. The latter must be set up early in August, so if you have an interest in doing a UCOSP project, please contact E. Harley in July or early August.
