Teaching Graduate Students Visiting Scholars
I am lucky to work with many talented graduate students, and I am actively recruiting top students whose background and research interests match my research. Nevertheless, I am not able to respond to every email/voice query regarding graduate supervision. I apologize if I do not reply to your message. Please stop sending me reminders. My no response has nothing to do with your qualification but just means a mismatch viewed from my side.
