Graduate applicants
If you are interested in BU's graduate
program, please look at BU Computer Science
for information on admission and a description of the
program. Research assistantships are available for strong candidates
interested in working in cryptography and theory. Make sure to
indicate my name, "cryptography" or "algorithms"
prominently in your application if you want our group to consider you.
Our department receives many applications, and I cannot review all of
them personally.
