Attn: Applicants for graduate studies. I generally do not respond to the high number of unsolicited applications. Please don’t send “gentle reminders” either. For best results I suggest you apply directly to the School of Computer Science, marking your preferred advisor(s) and/or work area. Please try to provide as much detail in your application, including the reasons for your chosen advisor(s). Those applications will be examined by the graduate admissions committee and made available to faculty members.


Announcement: I will be offering CS498/689 (Advanced Topics in CS, Computer Audio) in Winter 2024.

This is a project-based course. Choose your own topic. Work individually or in groups. Grade will be 50% homework, 50% project.

Update (Nov 16, 2023). Thanks to those who signed up (pre enrollment).

Update (Nov 21, 2023). Some people have reported conflicts of lectures with midterm exam slots. If you cannot register on Quest, please contact me for override permission.
