To Prospective Students

I currently have 3 openings for students at Ph.D level. The expected starting dates are Spring 2008 or Fall 2008.

The successful candidates are expected to carry out research in one of the following two areas:

If you are interested, please send your PS, resume, transcripts, TOEFL and GRE scores, and everything that you believe will help your application to me in one email. Prior research experience is a plus but is not absolutely necessary. I am more interested in working with students who are responsible, brilliant, with solid background, and have curiosity and determination to explore the path to develop himself/herself into an outstanding researcher.

Sorry I will not be able to answer general inquiry on position availability etc. without any substantial application material for evaluation.
