If You’re Not a Brown Student and Want to Do Research with Me
If you’re interested in becoming a PhD student please consider applying to our program and list me as a faculty of interest!
If you email me and your email shows that you’ve meaningfully looked at some of my papers, I’ll try to respond, but I unfortunately don’t have the time to respond to generic emails of interest.
If You Are a Brown Student and Want to Do Research with Me
If you’re already a student at Brown and are interested in doing research with me I’m happy to chat! I can’t promise research opportunities but if I have some problems that fit your background I’d be excited to talk. Please read the below.
If you would like to do research with me I ask that you do two things:
- Take, do well and actively participate in my class: CSCI2952T: An Algorithmist’s Toolkit (my non-seminar advanced class);
- Attend Algorithms Lunch for at least 1 semester. You can get notifications about algorithms lunch by signing up for the Brown theory mailing list.
Some additional things that would give you useful background to do research with me are:
- CSCI1570: Design and Analysis of Algorithms
- CSCI 1450: Advanced Introduction to Probability for Computing and Data Science or CSCI1550: Probabilistic Methods in Computer Science
- CSCI1952C: Frontiers of Graph Algorithms (my seminar)
- Math 1230: Graph Theory
- Any upper-level classes offered by Yu Cheng, Eli Upfal or Philip Klein
- Attending Brown Theory Seminar
If you have satisfied these requirements, please feel free to send me your availability for the subsequent 2 weeks and I’ll pick a time. Also, before we meet also please send me an email with:
- Your Brown transcript;
- A CV or resume if you have one;
- Any other information you think I should know.
