Information for Students
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, or honors work
in English or Art regarding film. 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.
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.
I maintain an online list of projects for which I'm willing to advise or hire students. You can propose your own project as well!
The undergraduate students whom I work on computer science research with are
almost always computer science majors who have completed Computer
Organization (CS 237) and usually Linear Algebra (Math 211). Thesis
students should take Computational Graphics (CS 371) before applying, or preregister
if it is in their senior year.
I frequently collaborate with graduate and undergraduate students at
other schools in conjunction with their advisors or corporate internship mentors.
Williams does not offer graduate degrees in Computer
Science and I am not currently hiring post-docs or interns.
I delete unread the many unsolicited applications for non-existent positions that
I receive each semester.
