Group

Caltech is a very collaborative and interactive place, and my students and postdocs participate in a wide variety of research groups/centers. I tend to work closely with a small group of students/postdocs and collaborate with many others as part of RSRG, Netlab, and DOLCIT. My group also participates actively in CSIS, CMI, IST, the Resnick Institute, and CAST. For information on joining the lab as an undergraduate, graduate, or postdoc, see here.
