Having benefitted from experiences in camps and research labs as
a
high-school and as an undergraduate student, I have spent much of
my
career attempting to give back what I've gotten. Mentoring
students
and running camps and classes for grade school children are key
aspects of my activities. Among the students I have worked with
include Ashvin Goel, whom I mentored in his last year as a Ph.D.
student. Ashvin worked on the Forensix project and his success led
him to base his entire research program at the University of
Toronto
on the computer replay techniques of Forensix. I have also
graduated two Ph.D. students: Chris Chambers and Ed Kaiser.
Both students established themselves as leaders in the networked
games community. Chris won the Best Student Paper award at the
Internet Measurement Conference for his work in game measurement
in
2005 while Ed's work on detecting cheating in on-line games was
accepted at ACM CCS 2009: a tier-1 security conference. Below is a
summary of graduate students I have mentored.

My mentorship activities are not limited to graduate
students, however. I am also committed to developing the next
generation of researchers by creating a student pipeline starting
as
early as high school. In order to foster participation in research
from high-school and undergraduate students, I have established a
relationship with multiple co-op and internship programs to
provide
advanced students with an opportunity to do research. Below is a
list
of undergraduate students that I have mentored throughout my
career:
