I feel it is important to inspire a love of research in my graduate students. Furthermore, it is important that they develop the knowledge and skills required for an independent program of research. I work hard to enhance the quality of the graduate student experience, to encourage and support excellence in research, and to promote a sense of community between myself and those under my supervision. I make every effort to include my students extensively in my research program as project directors and research assistants. In these situations, where students have made original contributions, my students will receive co-authorship on papers. Provided below is a list of current graduate students, my expectations of graduate students, and links to resources.
