I'm on sabbatical until September 2009
I am on sabbatical from June 2008 until September 2009. I hope to come into the office no more than a handful of times during that period. Unless you have a specific appointment, do not try to see me in my office or call me at my office. Voice mail messages will be discarded. I should be in email contact for most of my sabbatical.
I will be spending the school year in the San Francisco bay area, spending most of my time as a visiting scientist at Google.
