Send me email and a resume if you are interested in working with me. Tell me what problems excite
you most and they don't necessarily have to be related to one of my projects as I am always interested
in getting into new areas. The best part about research is the flexibility and stabiity we have
in exploring new directions -- and I am very interested in learning from you just as
you may be interested in learning from me.
