News and Notes:
- 2024, due to overwhelming workloads, in principle, I can only write recommendation letters for students meeting at least one of the following prerequisites: 1) got A- or above in at least one of my taught courses; 2) published paper (or paper accepted for publication) with me; 3) developed significant amount of teaching material or systems for my teaching related projects (effort needed comparable to prerequisite 1 or 2). For each qualified student, I normally can only write no more than 7 recommendation letters per year. Apologies if I cannot help you.
