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 and do well in my class: CSCI2952T: An Algorithmist’s Toolkit (my non-seminar advanced class);
- Attend Algorithms Lunch for at least 1 semester.
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.
