Students
I am looking for graduate students who are interested in building large software systems, have solid software implementation skills, and get excited about areas such as operating systems, distributed systems, or computer security.
If you are interested in these research areas, please read this information about our research group, and send me mail with your CV and transcripts. I will not reply if you send me a generic admissions inquiry.
If you are interested in applying for graduate studies, please first check the ECE graduate studies and the ECE admissions web pages or send mail to the ECE graduate office for information.
Current Graduate Students
Here are the students who are teaching me everything I know (borrowing a quote from my advisor). Feel free to contact them if you want to learn more about my projects. Daniel, George, Jack, Peter, Akshay, Mike, Dhaval and Khaled are also being advised by Prof. Angela Demke Brown. Silviu and Wilson are also being advised by Prof. Eyal de Lara. Below, I have added the year when each student joined because that encourages fast graduation (TM)!
