Undergraduate research FAQ

I would be happy to advise undergraduate research projects in the area of information and data management. However, do not expect me to identify every single action you need to take-- This is your opportunity to take "initiative" and be proactive. On this note, I strongly recommend you to do the following:
  • Come up with a topic (or at least try very hard!!) yourself. You will be motivated when you work on the topic you have passion with.
  • Meet me (or the designated grad student mentor) regulary and discuss progress. I recommend to set up a meeting once or twice each month at the least.
  • You are invited to participate in our weekly graduate lab seminar, ``if" you are interested in starting to read a research paper (or even write one.) I'm a firm believer that undergrads can (and should) read and write a research paper.

    In case you are interested in pursuing your Master's or Ph.D with me, you need to take this opportunity more seriously, since for me, this is an opportunity to make an ``informed" hiring decision. Thanks for your interest.
