Supervision signals

Has led research grants, which requires an independent research appointment. Ask their department whether they supervise graduate students.
64 publications in the last five years, latest in 2026.
Senior (last) author on 34 recent papers, a sign of leading a research group.
Principal investigator on 1 research grant (1 CIHR), most recently in 2023.
Supervisor on 2 trainee awards (2 CIHR), most recently in 2023.

These signals come from public records, including CIHR, NSERC and SSHRC funding decisions. Ask the professor or the graduate program whether they are taking new students.
