Future students

• I do not anticipate taking any further graduate students at UCD at this point.
• I would consider co-advising a student interested in social, ethical, or political aspects of CS, regardless of their university affiliation.

Current students

• None! My last student, John Chan, has now graduated.

Other advising

• I am the past chair for both CS undergraduate advising and Grad-Group-in-CS advising. If you could use some advice, or someone to listen, please get in touch. I’d especially like to encourage students to have a “real” exchange about their future. Advising isn’t just some formality for getting you “advising hold” lifted.
