To find an advisor:
- See department web pages for list of faculty and their research interests
- Find one you’re interested in and email to set up a meeting
- Don’t spam them all at once – it looks like you don’t care about the subject
- Even if they don’t have space in their lab, they’re probably happy to discuss their research
