Prospective Graduate Students

The best way to get accepted to Michigan is to write a unique and compelling personal statement that focuses on research and to have letter writers who can rate your research abilities. I only hire students who have been admitted to the graduate program at Michigan CSE. If you are interested in an RAship, you will first need to apply via the Michigan CSE admissions Web site.

My students and co-authors have a diverse background. Most are computer scientists or electrical engineers with a passion for building secure systems and writing scholarly prose. All have creative outlets such as Latin literature, bread making, rock climbing, pottery, archery, and photography to name a few. These creative passions are reflected in our way of doing research. Interested in joining us? Apply for the PhD program. Women and minorities are especially encouraged to apply.

Are you considering graduate school in general? There are many ways to prepare.

High School Mentoring

In my role as the Publications Chair for the National Junior Classical League, I mentor the editor who publishes a quarterly periodical. The student editor has the unique opportunity of producing creative content and managing a scholarly publication far beyond the typical high school experience. Each year, high school students elect an editor from the body of over 40,000 participating students who study Latin, Greek, and classical history. I am elected to this volunteer position by members of the American Classical League for a ten year period within 2004-2014.
