For the last few years I have been an advisor for the Mathematical and Computational Science (MCS) major and I am proud to have help start the new Data Science major. College is a very intense, often disruptive experience: it is a true privilege to accompany the students as they navigate through their years at Stanford.

Meetings

There are some steps that require meeting with an advisor (as approval of an honors program, final check-list for graduation, etc. ), but you do not need to wait for these to come by and discuss what is on your mind. I expect my advisees to check in at least once a year, and I am happy to meet with any undergraduate with questions about the majors.

If you have recently declared Data Science/MCS and I have been assigned as your advisor, please make sure you come and meet me at your earliest convenience so that we can go over your background, interests and expectations and see how to incorporate these into your curriculum.

During the AY2024-25, I am available every Tuesday 2:00-4:00 in Sequoia Hall, room 230. To meet with me, I ask that you make every effort to come to these office hours. This might include leaving a class early or being late to one. If we need more time, this is also the best set-up to schedule another meeting. If you really cannot make the office hours work, feel free to e-mail requesting a special appointment, but be aware that it might take a bit before we find a mutually suitable time (please include Natalie La Mariana on any e-mail).
