For graduate students

If you are a UF graduate student and you want to work with me, send me an email. We have weekly lab meetings, tentatively at 2PM on Fridays. Moreover, you should internalize Mark Thomforde’s guide to being a graduate student. If you are not yet a UF graduate student, send me an email, and apply.

Current group members

  • James Eldred Pascoe
  • Michael Coopman (2nd Year graduate student)
  • Tapesh Yadav (3rd Year graduate student)
  • Austin Jacobs (4th Year graduate student)

Diversity is Strength

The University of Florida maintains a strong commitment to making our campus a welcoming place for all people, especially marginalized groups and traditional outsiders.
