Current and Former Students

Looking for advice?

I am always happy to talk to students about their research, course work, and future aspirations. Please feel free to grab me after class, come by my office hours, or email me for an appointment.

If you are an undergraduate looking for someone to read your senior thesis, stop by; I'd be delighted to hear what you're doing.

If you are a prospective Ph.D. student, please note that I am not taking graduate students at this time.
