My Future M.Sc. Students

Are you planning to do your M.Sc. program of study under my supervision?

  If so, here is the steps you need to take:

1. Read my Research Guidelines and make sure that you like my style and would enjoy working with me :)
2. Then, you have to get admitted to a university as an M.Sc student; doesn't matter which university and where, could be anywhere in the world, as long as I accept it as a reputable university and the university accepts me as your supervisor.  If you are already an M.Sc. student, then proceed with the next step.  Otherwise, work on your admission.  You are welcome to consider my home institution, where I accept M.Sc students, in the area of Computer Systems, in 3 graduate programs:  (1) Department of Computer Science, (2) Department of Applied Mathematics, and  (3) Aras International Campus (پردیس بین‌المللی ارس) of University of Tabriz.  For further information on the admission process, contact the Graduate Admissions Office (مدیریت تحصیلات تکمیلی) of University of Tabriz.
3. If you have already completed your course work, go to the next step. Otherwise, take your courses as you are required, while thinking about the next step. Keep in mind that your courses should prepare you for the next step. You will be in much better shape if you look ahead, while taking your courses, and have some bits and pieces ready to be used (or re-used) in the next step. The course materials, specially your course papers, if any, can be useful in doing your review work of the next step.
4. Do a critical review on your area of interest and organize it as a Survey Paper according to EnSuPaper.zip. This work should lead you to some topics of research. Once I am satisfied with your Survey Paper, submit it to a reputable conference and start working on the next item.
5. Organize your review of Item 4 according to MScSeminar.zip, prepare your presentation, and present, by which time you must have decided on your topic of research.
6. Do your research and organize it as a research paper according to EnRePaper.zip. Your work on papers of this type goes on until you have at least two papers, accepted by some reputable conferences - one of these papers could be that of item 4.
7. Once you have at least two reputable conference submissions and while you are waiting for their acceptance, start organizing your M.Sc. Thesis according to MScThesis.zip. Basically, your review work of item 4 and 5 would make up Chapter 2 and your research papers of item 6 goes to chapter 3 of your thesis.
8. Once you have at least two papers, accepted by some reputable conferences, combine all your work to one extended paper, pass it to me (I'll take it from there and consider it for a possible journal publication), and schedule your defense. Remember, I cannot allow you to defend, as long as you don't have your papers accepted.
