Sending email to Hector Levesque

Unfortunately, I get more email than I can answer. Before sending me a message and dealing with my somewhat unfriendly spam filter, you might want to check whether your inquiry may be addressed by one of the points below:

• Graduate student admission

  All the information you need to apply for admission to the graduate program in Computer Science at the University of Toronto is available on the Web here. Graduate admissions are handled by a central committee, which processes applications in all areas of CS and decides on admissions for the entire department. Individual faculty members do not accept students on their own, so sending me an email about your application will not increase your chances of getting admitted into the program. If you think you would like to work in the area of Knowledge Representation or with me, then you should say so in your application. Once you are accepted into the Department as a graduate student, you are guaranteed funding by the Department regardless of who your supervisor is.

• Summer internships, visiting researchers, postdocs

  I do not take summer interns as I am typically away for most of the summer. Due to a variety of constraints, I am also not able to accommodate any new visiting researchers or postdocs in my group at this time.

• Miscellaneous

  • No, I'm not interested in collecting my IRS tax refund for $268.32. I don't live in the US and I don't file with IRS.

  • No, I don't really care about my online customer account being abused. I don't have an online customer account.

  • No, I don't want to buy any unsolicited products, even if they extend, enlarge, or otherwise enhance.
