PhD Counseling

Students who wish to begin or are already enrolled in a Ph.D. program in our department should contact Dr. Gert Fehlner if they require assistance / advice in administrative and organizational matters. They should send an email to Dr. Fehlner and describe their questions or concerns briefly and include a telephone number where they can be reached. Dr. Fehlner will then get in touch in a timely manner.
