• Advanced undergraduate students who are interested in pursuing a PhD with me at a later date, and come highly recommended from professors with whom I have an established professional relationship.
• Advanced graduate students who have an established research agenda in an area directly relevant to my research interests. Typically, this refers to PhD students who have been advanced to candidacy.
• Externally funded students with research interests that are broadly compatible with the research conducted in my group.

• Please familiarize yourself with the research that is conducted in my research group. A description of my current research may be found in my research statement, bibliography, or collected publications. Generic emails will not be entertained.
• Internships entail a substantial investment of resources, both in terms of time and funding, and as such they need to be mutually beneficial. In particular, there needs to be a clear potential return on the investment, either in the form of potential publications, collaborations, or recruitment opportunities.
• Due to the limited duration of an internship, visits tend to be most productive when there is a focused agenda. This requires a carefully though out proposal that reflects a familiarity with the research that is conducted in my group, and provides a clear connection between your academic background and your proposed objectives.
• Students who do not currently have a United States immigration status that is compatible with employment will only be considered if they are externally funded, or are already actively engaged in directly relevant research. We are only able to sponsor a J-1 exchange visitor visa, and students should familiarize themselves with the two-year home-country physical presence requirement. In particular, students from the People's Republic of China, and India, are subject to this requirement. Alternatively, students should consider applying for full-time positions as postdoctoral scholars or graduate students.
