Recruitment

I am always looking for self-motivated graduate (MS project/thesis) and undergraduate students (senior project) to work in my research lab (CALSys Lab). If you are interested in participating in my research projects, send me an email with your CV and trasncripts.

  

Letters of Recommendation

As a professor, I am expected to write letters of recommendation. It is part of my job.

If you feel that I know you well enough to write you a letter of recommendation, please stop by my office or email me santanamarin@cpp.edu with your letter of intent. Once I agree to write you a letter, please provide me the following information at least 2 weeks before your program deadline:

01 A personal statement about why you want to do the programs/jobs that you're applying to and what your future plans are. This statement is a good opportunity to remind me of any particular strengths you have.
02 List all classes you have taken from me with brief descriptions of projects you developed, how they might relate to your current application, and final grade.
03 List other kinds of work you may have done with me (independent study, senior project, students club, etc.).
04 Your transcript.
05 Your resume.
06 Summary of all your applications and their corresponding deadlines. I will use this info to not miss a single submission. So, be precise!
