Hi Keith,

Thanks. Yes, for the first year students, I agree it's best waiting.

@Brian: what's the situation with the neutrino students ? Any interested ones ?

Thanks,

Tulika

Hi Tulika,

There is a first-year graduate student who started working with me this past summer that I think will be interested in this program, Miranda Gorsuch. I have spoken with her about the program and she is enthusiastic, but we both think it would be a better fit to start in roughly a year from now once she has completed the first year of physics core grad courses, etc.

Best,

Keith

Dear all,

I was wondering where you are with student recruitment ? Are there some students you know who are candidates ?

We have not seen anything sent to us on this mailing list yet but I am expecting two students to send in their expressions of interest. They are Trevor Nelson and Elise Chavez. Are there others you know about ?

Please note that the Princeton course on Software engineering starts on Tuesday (6th). the first class is introductory and not essential to attend but if there are potential students, we could encourage them to attend already even if they officially start with the program in October or January.

It appears that some students got the impression from our proposal snippet that we have a very rigid program that requires them to (i) skip some of the HEP theory courses they may want to take (ii) take the example CS courses that we list there. We should explain to them that we have a lot of flexibility and can to some extent tailor the program depending on the student background and they could then take the CS courses that are relevant for them and that they are interested in taking. And they can still take QFT and other courses that they wish! I am trying to explain this to the students that I have met so far about this.

Please let me know if there are any updates at your end or if you have heard other questions/concerns.

Thanks, Tulika

Thanks all - I agree with the assessment that it would really be an exception that a first year student would want to start. It could in principle work in our program for the really exceptionally well prepared student but nominally I think we would expect students to do this in the 2nd or 3rd year to make sure they have the core of the program completed or substantially underway.
