Students who have received (or about to receive) a M.S. degree and wish to continue towards a Ph.D. may apply to join my research group. We seek students who show clear indication of mathematical talent, desire for rigorous research, and show evidence of self-motivation and ambition.

Interested applicants should send me a brief email inculding:

1. Research interest and background (very brief)
2. GRE and TOEFL scores, when available
3. Rank in class
4. Electronic copies of B.S. and M.S. transcripts

Due to volume of interest, I can only acknowledge qualified students who have followed the instructions in this web page.

Applicants are evaluated based on:

• Grades in key courses. At the B.S. level : all math courses, junior and senior-level systems-related courses. At the M.S. level: random processes, detection and estimation, digital/wireless communications, information theory and coding.
• Research experience culminating in peer-reviewed publications.
• Quality of the educational institution, and rank in class
