If you're interested in majoring in Computer Science, either in McCormick or Weinberg, you should read about CS Curriculum here and in Chapter 4 of the EECS Undergraduate Study Manual.

If you're a Ph.D. student interested in working with me, please read Section 5.2 (Computer Engineering and Systems) in the EECS Graduate Study Manual. I primarily advise students in the Systems area of Computer Science, although I have also advised students in Computer Engineering.

If you're an undergraduate interested in research experience through independent study or REU, feel free to contact me or one of my graduate students. You should have some background in at least one of architecture, operating systems, distributed systems, networks, parallel systems, programming languages, compilers, or databases. Undergrads are also welcome in my graduate courses.
