Graduate Students
Prof. Mariakakis is actively looking for motivated people to join CHAI starting in Fall 2025. Priority will be given to students who are interested in using signal processing and machine learning on sensor data from ubiquitous devices (e.g., smartphones, wearables) to develop new digital health systems. However, students interested in qualitative methods in the context of digital health are also encouraged to apply. If you are interested, please email Prof. Mariakakis with a brief expression of interest and CV.
Prof. Mariakakis typically prioritizes PhD applicants over MSc students. In fact, the University of Toronto makes it difficult to recruit non‑Canadian students specifically into the MSc program due to provincial incentives. Therefore, domestic MSc applicants will be considered in exceptional cases, and international students are encouraged to apply for a PhD if they are keen to work with Prof. Mariakakis.
