Notes for Students

Dear student:

If you are a masters student with a BS degree in computer science, and if you have a good motivation for research through an independent study or a MS thesis, you may be interested in one of my projects. Students who love visual arts are particularly welcome.

If you have never taken any of my classes, nor done a ressearch project with me, please do NOT ask me for a reference letter.
