PROSPECTIVE STUDENTS

Thank you for your interest in our research at the University of Michigan.

Graduate Students

If you are outside U-M, please consider applying to the U-M graduate program this Fall. Due to the large volume of emails, I might not be able to reply to all emails from prospective students. Still, I welcome all emails, and I read them. If you have a website and a Google Scholar entry, please share them with me. I will certainly consider you for financial aid decisions; the decisions are made in the Spring.

  • For more information about Ann Arbor, check out here and here.
  • For more information about the Department of Aerospace Engineering, check out here and here.

If you are master’s student at U-M, please consider taking one of the classes I teach or becoming an intern in the group. I also invite any opportunity to chat in person. If you would prefer to email me, please do so, and aim to include a CV or resume, an (unofficial) transcript, your website, and, if any publications, your Google Scholar entry.
