Marina did her Master's degree in Computer Science at the Athens University of Economics and Business during 2021 – 2022. She is currently pursuing her PhD with me.
- Conner Flansburg (Apr 2020 – Aug 2021): Undergraduate research assistant in AI2ES. Also participated in the REU of 2021 within AI2ES and we had a paper together at AAAI 2022 (student abstract stream). First job on the market at the Pacific Northwest National Laboratory.
A Remark for Prospective Students
Due to a large volume of emails that I receive I am not able to respond to all the emails by prospective students. However, if you do want to come to the University of Oklahoma and work as a graduate student in the School of Computer Science, first and foremost you need to apply to become a student here!
