Arokia Nathan - 2005/2006

Arokia Nathan - Electrical and Computer Engineering

Prof. Nathan’s record in graduate supervision is one marked with distinction. As the supervisor of three winners of the NSERC Doctoral Prize since the award was established in 1992, he is the most successful NSERC-funded mentor in Canada. Despite the large number of students he supervises, both current and former students, applaud the time he takes with his students, directing them carefully in their scholarly pursuits and ensuring their research is the best it can be. His emphasis on teamwork, and his diligence in sending his students to present their own work at important international conferences stand out in the minds of his students as key elements of his exemplary supervisory style. Every student, whether former or current, who supported his nomination was particularly struck by his deep concern for every aspect of their welfare.
