George H. Chen

I've had the fortune of working with many wonderful students over the years (listed below). If you're interested in working with me and you already are a CMU student, then feel free to shoot me an email telling me what you're particularly excited about working on, why it overlaps with my research interests, and what skills you've already cultivated. Note that I only work with students external to CMU under special circumstances (usually through a co-advising setup where I know the co-advising faculty member outside of CMU).
