If you are considering doing a thesis to fulfill your MS/MLA capstone requirement, please join us for a workshop with Professor Bill Currie on 'Preparing to do a Master's Thesis.' Professor Currie will help incoming students to understand the steps and the timeframe required when preparing to do a Master's thesis in SEAS, the workload and expectations, and how to work with a thesis advisor. We will also discuss the difference between the thesis and capstone project options.
Professor Currie is the SEAS Associate Dean for Research and Engagement. He is interested in interdisciplinary approaches to the study of the environment and the development of sustainability science. His research background is in ecosystem and landscape ecology, biogeochemistry including carbon and nutrient cycling, and ecosystem computer modeling. He also co-Directs a postdoctoral program to apply artificial intelligence in science at U-M. He has advised many PhD and Master's students over the past 30 years, including both Master's theses and Master's capstone projects in SEAS.
