Note to Prospective Students
We are always looking for good graduate students. Please apply if interested. I apologize, but I do not typically respond to email inquiries regarding graduate school positions due to the large number of inquiries. If interested, please apply directly to the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering and I will review your application during the review process.
