http://www.ece.ucdavis.edu/~lewis/ A Message to Prospective Graduate Students:
I am not planning to offer research assistanships to any incoming students even if your record is strong and our research interests are well matched. This is because I have found it almost impossible to determine whether offering support is a good idea before getting to know someone. If you come here and are interested in working with me, please contact me when you arrive. I will request that you enroll in a sequence of classes during your first year that will prepare you for research in our lab and allow me to evaluate your abilities.
