How are students assigned to advisors?
Students are initially assigned a temporary advisor, usually one of the I/O program directors. Within the first few weeks of the students’ first semester, the faculty members make short, informal presentations of their current research interests. By the end of the first month of the semester, after the students have held discussions with all members of the IO faculty, the students indicate their preferences for an advisor. The final assignment of an advisor is a result of a mutual agreement between the faculty member and student.
