Prospective 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 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. Once we are all back in Campus, I also invite any opportunity to chat in person during my posted office hours or at the water cooler. 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.
