Computer Science students interested in pursuing an undergraduate research project may contact me for additional information. Students may participate in undergraduate research in two ways:

1. Individual, independent study conducted on a topic selected by the student
2. Individual or group studies conducted on an existing faculty member's research interest

Either one of these options may be supported by the University's Undergraduate Research Program (URP) or Quality Enhancement Program (QEP). Many of the student projects I supervise are interdisciplinary.
