If you are interested, please drop me an email at lyang28 AT gmu.edu with your CV and transcript. Or, if you have any questions about research/PhD study/career planning, please feel free to ask me too.
Note that I am only accepting prospective PhD students and GMU undergrad students at this moment. I would like to, but unfortunately I do not have time to deal with new interns and MS students.
