Opportunities for Visitors

Visiting Researchers

Visiting Faculty and Senior Personnel

I've hosted several summer faculty and senior visitors over the years, including:
  1. Karl Branting (MITRE), then with U. Wyoming (FY95)
  2. Francesco Ricci (Free University of Bozen-Bolzano), then with IRST (Trento, Italy) (FY97)
  3. Hector Munoz-Avila, Lehigh U. (FY99-01)
  4. Rosina Weber, Drexel U. (FY00-01)
  5. Bruce McLaren, CMU (FY03)
  6. Joshua Summers, Clemson U. (FY03)
  7. Kurt Fenstermacher (Bridgewater Associates), then with U. Arizona (FY04)
  8. Sankar Pal, ISI (Kolkata, India) (FY04)
  9. Luke McDowell, USNA (FY07-12)
  10. Gita Sukthankar, U. Central Florida (FY08)
  11. Edgardo Oliveros, Interamerican University of Puerto Rico (FY11)
  12. Brendan Morris, UNLV (FY12)
In some cases, special arrangements were made with the visitor's institution. However, the ONR/ASEE Program provides opportunities as well, which were arranged for the visits by Karl, Josh, Kurt, Gita, and Brendan. Please see here for more information (e.g., on the ONR/ASEE Program). Applications are usually due in early December.

Post-Doctoral Researchers

I especially enjoy working with talented post-doctoral researchers, and have had the pleasure to work with the following outstanding NRC post-docs:
  1. Bill Murdock, IBM (FY01-03)
  2. Matthew Klenk, PARC (FY09-FY11)
  3. David Uthus (FY10-)
  4. Marc Pickett (FY12-)
Information on the two programs for which we hire post-docs can be found here. This includes our preferred vehicle, which is the NRC (Post-Doctoral) Research Associateship, whose deadlines are Feb 1, May 1, and Aug 1. If this opportunity interests you and you qualify, please contact me to discuss this!!

Please note that, due to my time constraints, our collaborations usually must be tied to our funded projects.

Students

This applies to PhD candidates as well as students pursuing their Master's, Bachelor's (i.e., summer or co-ops), or even high school degrees. We've hosted many from each category over the years. Recent visitors have included Jay Powell (Indiana U., STEP 2010), Ryan Rossi (Purdue U., NREIP 2010), Mark Wilson (Indiana U., NREIP 2011), Bryan Williams (TJ High School, STEP 2011-2012), and Dustin Dannenhauer (Lehigh U., STEP 2012).

For information on all student programs, please see here. Among these, my favorite Program for visiting summer students is the ONR-NREIP, whose deadlines are often in early January. Please don't hestitate to contact me and apply for these positions.
