Advice for prospective students

I am always looking for highly motivated students with experience in computer systems, compilers, and/or programming languages. My interests are broad and evolve faster than my website update frequency, so the best way to determine what research we could do together is to email me!

When emailing me try to dedicate some time to tailor the email and convey genuine interest. For example, what exactly motivated you to reach out to me? What is your background and research experience? Is there any prior paper (or research thread) of mine that particularly sparked your interest (either due to topic or style)?

If you don't have prior research experience, that is OK, we all start from somewhere! One way you could show that you can independently tackle a problem is if you first try to resolve a Github issue in one of my repositories, such as PaSh or any other repository in the binpash project. Feel free to post questions in the Github issue or on the PaSh discord server.
