Notes to Students:

• Read: Useful Things to Know About Ph. D. Thesis Research by Professor H.T. Kung, Harvard, and many more other articles.
• Read: all the relevant papers from major proceedings/journals. Read and read! And read some non CS books as well.
• I do not take in MSc students. Students are expected to develop systems, publish in top outlets and go for overseas summer internships.
• Be honest, disciplined, persistent, and hard working... and you WILL be THERE !
• A journey of a thousand miles must begin with a single step -- Chinese Proverb. So, code when you are stuck, as cutting intended applications provides you some insight on what should be solved and what are useful.
