My current and previous research advisees are listed below, both graduate and undergraduate. Associated peer-reviewed journal publications and papers in peer-reviewed conference proceedings for each student are also noted. Additional advisee participation including oral and poster presentations are noted on the Publications page.

If you are a prospective student or researcher and would like to speak with any of my former advisees, please contact me to request their contact information, or use any of the connected LinkedIn profiles.

*Publications listed on this page are listed more than once in the event multiple advisees were co-authors on the same publication, such that all relevant publications are identified associated with each student author.
