My current and previous research advisees are listed below, both graduate and undergraduate. Associated peer-reviewed publications for each student are also noted.
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. Prospective students or postdoctoral scholars should contact me to ask about current opportunities.
Please note that 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.
