A note regarding inquiries

Like many of my colleagues, I receive numerous inquiries each month from prospective students, post-docs, and visitors interested in joining my research group. Due to the high volume, it may not be possible for me to respond to every request. Please understand that if you do not receive a reply, it is not a reflection of your qualifications. Additionally, please note that the graduate admissions process is managed by the departmental office for graduate studies.
