Prospective Graduate Students

I invite highly motivated students with a passion for environmental pollution to join my research group. Our focus is on the health and environmental impacts of microplastics, nanoplastics, engineered nanoparticles, and other emerging contaminants.

If this speaks to your interests, please send your CV along with contact information for two referees to oalimi@ualberta.ca. Please understand that due to the volume of inquiries, I may not be able to respond to every message. Thank you for your understanding.

Prospective Undergraduate Students

Numerous opportunities exist for undergraduate students in our lab. Please contact me if interested. 

Internships for International Visiting Students

I regularly welcome international visiting students to join my lab through various internship opportunities. Some programs that support international internships include:

1. Emerging Leaders in the Americas Program

2. Canada-ASEAN Scholarships and Educational Exchanges for Development (SEED)

3. Study in Canada Scholarships (SiCS)
