Prospective Students
eDAPT typically welcomes one to two graduate students and one to two undergraduate students as research assistants most years.
To be considered, first and foremost, please submit a formal application (details on how to apply). Additionally, while you are welcome to email me (Joanna), I regret that I am not not able to reply to prospective students. The number of emails I receive from prospective students has increased dramatically in recent years, and I am chosing to spend time with my current students, rather than doing more email.
If you do email me, please include the following:
- A brief introduction to yourself
- Confirmation that you have or will be applying to UBC
- A brief description of how your interests align with eDAPT research and why you think you would be a good fit for the group.
Please note that while eDAPT research projects generally emanate from grad students’ interests and ideas, they always fit within the broad themes of eDAPT.
Our undergrad students are often UBC students who are doing a summer NSERC USRA (Undergraduate Student Research Awards), UBC SURE (Science Undergraduate Experience Awards), WLIUR (Work Learn International Undergraduate Research Award), undergraduate thesis (CPSC 449) , directed studies (CPSC 448), or doing a senior project course (COGS 402).
We typically only consider students who have taken at least one course in Human-Computer Interaction or a similar topic. Undergraduate students are brought into eDAPT to work closely together with a graduate student who needs an assistant on their project. We regret that we are almost never able to accommodate a student who wants to work on their own topic/project.
To be considered, please send me (Joanna) an email, including the following information :
- A brief introduction to yourself and how your interests align with eDAPT research
- What type of undergraduate position you are seeking and the term desired
- Your resume/CV
- Your UBC transcript (unofficial fine)
Lab Culture
"eDAPT is a lively, diverse, and supportive group rooted in values of kindness, respect, and collaboration. We strive for research excellence, while fostering a culture of mutual growth by encouraging, learning from, and offering feedback to one another. Whether it’s celebrating milestones with lab dinners or occasionally enhancing research meetings by going out for coffee or ice cream, we love coming together to share good food and great company." -- Kevin Chow (PhD student)
Working with Joanna
Together with my students, I have created a living document titled “Working with Joanna” that describes some of the dimensions of what it is like to work with me, from research meetings, to funding, to conference travel, and beyond.
