Before sending me a message, I would appreciate it if you could consult this page. Many common questions are addressed below. Please free to contact me if you do not find the answer to your question below.
| Admissions to the
Computer Science Department:
The first step is to get admitted. All the information you
need to
apply
for admission to the CS Dept is available on the CMU webpage. After you
are accepted, please feel free to contact me regarding research
opportunities. I would be happy to spend some time with you.
FYI, At CMU, individual faculty do not make admissions decisions. Admission decisions are made by a faculty committee. Individual faculty members do not accept students on their own. Students and faculty are matched up only after students arrive on campus. |
| Admissions to the ECE Department: Admissions to the ECE Dept is different. I have a courtesy appointment in ECE, but I am not currently involved in ECE admissions. Please consult the ECE webpage for application instructions. |
| Taking on New Ph.D.
Students Next Year: I do not know at this time. At the
CS Dept, the matching process is completed only AFTER the Ph.D. students
arrive on campus.
Taking on New INI or Master's students: If you are interested in doing research/thesis project, I ask that you contact me some time in the middle or late Fall, after the Ph.D. student matching process is completed. Taking on New Undergraduate Students: If you are an undergraduate interested in doing research, please contact me by the end of your Junior year or beginning of your senior year. |
| Support for MS Students: I am not involved in the admissions or financial support process for MS students in INI or other departments. If you need more information about those programs, you need to contact the specific department. In addition, at this time I do not have any research assistantships available for MS students. If you are interested in doing a research/thesis project, I ask that you contact me some time in late Fall. |
| Evaluating your Chances: Sorry, but I cannot evaluate your chances of admissions or chances of joining my research group. |
| Visiting Researchers and Post-Docs: Unfortunately, I do not have any postdoc openings in my research group at this time. |
