I will likely be recruiting one new Ph.D. student for the 2027-28 academic year, either in the Information School or the Allen School, and likely on the topic of K-12 CS education, generative AI, and critical, liberatory pedagogy. I generally do not meet with prospective students outside of our admissions process and season, but if that topic sounds interesting to you, and you have questions that aren't answered on my website, feel free to write me an email and we can chat.
