If You’re Not a Brown Student and Want to Do Research with Me

If you’re an interested PhD student please consider applying to our program and list me as a faculty of interest!

I’ll try to respond to your email if it shows that you’ve meaningfully looked at some of my papers but I 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! Please read the below.

I can’t promise research opportunities but if I have some problems that fit your background I’d be excited to talk.

The number one thing you can do to get the right background to do research with me is to take and do well in my class:

Some additional things that would give you useful background to do research with me are:

At a minimum, you should be mathematically mature and have familiarity with proof-based analysis of algorithms.

If you feel you have the right background to do research with me, please book a slot here to chat in CIT 507 and before we meet send me an email with:

  • Your Brown transcript;
  • A CV or resume if you have one;
  • Any other information you think I should know.

If you aren’t able to make any of the bookable times above, then please also send me your availability for the subsequent 2 weeks and I’ll pick a time.

If you aren’t sure if you have the right background please feel free to reach out anyway and we can discuss if working together makes sense!
