These charts show the number of students and post-doctoral fellows that we have trained
as well as secondments from industry and government.
Notes:
The first tab shows highly qualified people (HQP) who have been trained in our lab by year and the second one is cumulative.
The training of HQP means individuals who spend time on-site working with our lab members on specific projects related to our research agenda. They are not employees of the lab (e.g., faculty, study coordinators, statisticians, mathematicians, and programmers) - employees are a different category not counted here.
Training of HQP includes students and post-doctoral fellows that we supervise, co-supervise, or mentor. We also have visiting scientists and professors from other universities and secondments and leaves from government and industry.
The legend in the graphs means: (a) PhD/M. St. = PhD or Masters student, (b) POSTDOC = postdoctoral fellows, (c) Visit. FA = visiting faculty and professors, and (c) Undergrad. St. = undergraduate students.
Training is an important part of what we do. Our training activities go much beyond local (University of Ottawa) students and we wanted this dashboard to reflect that.
Note that the cumulative graph must be interpreted carefully as some individuals appear in multiple years, therefore the cumulative count is not a total of unique individuals but more a total of "person-years" of training opportunities. Even that is a bit of an overestimate because if some individuals are working with us for part of a year they are still counted for that year.
We attempt to keep this up-to-date on a quarterly basis.
