For Prospective Lab Members:

I’m almost always interested in having folks join the lab.  So please contact me if you are interested.   I look for folks who are ambitious in both their ideas and work habits and can work reasonably well on their own.  I generally expect that my students will develop their own research questions within the framework of the lab, and that they will take primary responsibility and will get primary credit for their work. 

One thing I have decided on is that I will only take folks who will work with purely theoretical approaches and/or will work with aquatic systems.  This is because the lab is well equipped to study aquatic systems and because I know more about them and can thus better help and understand the research.  Within that however, I have a very broad range of things that I’d find interesting.

I also seek to get as much synergy out of my lab as I can.  To do this, I try to encourage interaction and get folks to think about how the research of others dovetails into what they are interested in.

I’ve had tremendous folks come through my lab, and I’m very proud of them.
