Mikhail (Mike) Atallah matallah@purdue.edu Best way to contact me: Email Worst way to contact me: Any of my personal social media accounts (I rarely access them -- about once a year) Note: I do not respond to emails from applicants trying to interfere with the CS Department's graduate admissions process (they're automatically filtered out as spam). Warning: Scammers pretending to be me are sending forged emails to potential victims, offering them non-existent jobs (ignore any such email, it is not really from me).
