Research Projects

Instructions: Each student is required to select a project from among those listed below. Note that the projects are listed under the corresponding faculty supervisor. Generally, we will try to assign students to projects uniquely and to ensure there is some balance among the faculty. Accordingly, by Monday, Feb. 16th please send Prof. Simha email with the following information:
A list of three projects, ordered by preference. If you want to add some justification or a couple of sentences about why you should be the one assigned to a particular project, feel free to do so.
