Please read before contacting me…

Looking for an expert witness or similar? Sorry, I don’t have the time and am not interested.  I feel the majority of such trials do tremendous harm to my field in order to enrich others who don’t move the field forward, and I don’t want any part of that.  If you’re specifically interested in my mobile computing work as a PhD student, I’ve put all that stuff on GitHub.

Trying to get admitted to Berkeley? If you are a current Berkeley student I would be happy to talk to you. Otherwise, I will not respond to emails regarding admission to Berkeley degree programs.  I cannot help you get admitted or advise you on admissions.  If you’re admitted I’ll be happy to talk to you once you’re here.

International student seeking summer research internship? With few exceptions, I only consider these cases if there is an introduction through a mutual personal reference; otherwise I’m afraid the answer is no.

Looking for a postdoc? I am affiliated with the MOOCLab and the ASPIRE Project.  If you don’t see a postdoc opening advertised on those pages, it means I’m not in a position to hire one, and I won’t generally reply to cold calls on that.

Trying to connect with me on LinkedIn? Yes, I’m on there, but I only connect with people with whom I’ve had nontrivial actual co-worker experience.  If you’re not in that category, don’t be offended when I don’t respond to your “connect with me” request.
