Information for Advisees
CS Majors
Prof. Albrecht's Class Planning Worksheet
Research
I work with undergraduate assistants and thesis students in
my research. Please come visit if you are a Williams student interested in research on computer graphics and computer vision. If you are considering a CS thesis or independent study in graphics contact me at least two weeks before the end of the preceeding semester.
I frequently collaborate with graduate and undergraduate students at other schools in conjunction with their advisors and as summer interns at NVIDIA. Williams does not offer graduate degrees in Computer Science and I am not currently hiring post-docs.
Williams students interested in research with me should read my open letter to research assistants, Independent Study and Thesis Information, Prof. Bailey's letter, and review the topics of my recent publications. After we've talked about your proposed independent study/thesis, you must write and get my approval of a syllabus before the course starts.
The undergraduate students that I work with are almost always computer science majors who have completed CS 237 and Math 211. Thesis students should take CS 371.
