Postdoctoral Fellow at University of Waterloo
in Waterloo, ON

"I hate the fact that I have the freedom to decide on when to work and how to conduct my research. I have weekly meetings with my supervisor to report my progress. During my time as a post doctoral fellow at the University of Waterloo, I have already published a brief book with Springer Inc. The only fact I don't like about is the lack of practical research we conduct in collaboration with the industry. I believe that this problem is already identified, and will be rectified in the future,"
