Future students

• I do not anticipate taking any further graduate students at this point, but would consider co-advising a student interested in social or political in computer science..

Other advising

• I am an undergraduate advisor and past chair of both the the undergraduate CS advisors and the grad advisors. If you have need advice, feel free to drop by my office hours to talk. I’d especially like to encourage students to come and have a “real” exchange about the future. Advising isn’t just some formality for getting you “advising hold” lifted.
