2. Office Hours
Tu-Th 9:00-10:00am
https://asu.zoom.us/j/91877759886 (with waiting room)
You are welcome to reach out to me outside of these office hours. However, I spend a significant portion of my
time interacting with my graduate students; therefore, please send me an email first to arrange a mutually
agreeable (Zoom) meeting time. A face-to-face meeting can also be arranged if requested, but due to COVID-19, I
plan to minimize interactions that can potentially contribute to the further transmission of this epidemic.
