What advice do you have for prospective or new researchers?

To find research with a professor, identify faculty whose work you like, then send a personalized email explaining your interest and attaching your resume. Follow up politely, and consider attending their office hours to make a direct connection.

If they are not taking new students, don't hesitate to go to other labs where you might discover new research areas.
