Prospective Students

Undergraduate Students

If you are interested in undergraduate research with me, I recommend taking MATH 300: Mathematics of Data Science first.

Graduate Students

If you are interested in graduate research with the group, please email me to discuss your research interests and potential projects.

For both undergraduate and graduate inquiries, please include your CV, unofficial transcript, and specific research interests.
