If you are a new student researcher at the undergrad or graduate level, the resources below may be helpful. The bottom of this page contains some short videos (3-5 mins mostly) showcasing examples of research projects conducted by my students and collaborators.
We are constantly seeking motivated students to contribute to multidisciplinary research projects. In the age of AI, becoming truly irreplaceable requires developing strong first-principles and systems thinking, as well as the ability to collaborate and synthesize ideas across domains. My projects are designed to cultivate these skills while engaging students in meaningful, real-world problems. They emphasize mathematical reasoning and computational methods, providing rigorous and rewarding research experiences.
Eligibility:
– Completed coursework in basic probability.
– Solid academic record (high GPA is expected, though exceptions may be made).
– Truly humble and curious to learn
current or admitted undergraduate, Master’s, or PhD student
