In our department, it is mandatory to have an advisor consent letter for your graduate application. I will provide the letter after I accept your application.
Since we have a quota for total graduate students whom we can work with, I screen all the applications and make a selection among them. The exact number may change, but usually, I can accept 2-3 students every semester. The priority varies as well from semester to semester, but it is more or less given to:
- Our department students, specifically if you took one of my technical elective courses such as AE486 and AE484 or completed a project under my supervision.
- Students who are not working for a company and would like to pursue an academic career.
- Students who are working for a company that we have a joint project.
If you are an undergraduate student who would like to join one of the projects, send me an e-mail briefly explaining your motivation.
