What kind of research interests are a good fit?
See the publications page of this site with an eye to papers authored by students and Dr. Flake's google scholar page for recent published projects in the lab.
Dr. Flake does not pre-interview candidates or provide application feedback ahead of the application due date to ensure fairness across applicants. Only use email to ask critical questions for completing an application, not to workshop your application. If you are short-listed as an applicant, you will generally be contacted for an interview in the winter of the application year (in January or February).
