Prospective students
I am always interested in working with motivated students. However, due to high email volume, I cannot respond to general admissions questions (contact the department), templated emails sent to multiple faculty or requests without specific research focus.
To help me respond thoughtfully to serious inquiries, please use the contact form. I will respond to inquiries that demonstrate familiarity with my work and clear alignment with my research directions.
