I get so much email that I simply cannot respond to all of it. So here is a brief guide on whether to email me and how.
- Are you interested in my work at Rasa?
- Email a.lopez@rasa.com. Please do not send university-related emails to this address.
- Are you a friend or a current or former research student?
- I would love to hear from you! Please email my personal address if you have it, otherwise one of the other addresses on this page.
- Are you seeking a studentship or other academic position with me?
- I am no longer taking students or hiring for academic positions, so please don’t email me. I wish you the best of luck, but there’s nothing I can do to help you, so I will not respond to your email.
- Are you seeking information about courses or programs at the university?
- I no longer teach nor direct academic programes, so please don’t email me. I wish you best of luck, but there’s nothing I can do to help you, so I will not respond to your email.
- Are you interested in other university business?
- My work at the university is limited to advising my current PhD students. If your interest relates to that, or to another university matter on which I am obliged or already commited, email alopez@inf.ed.ac.uk. I am unlikely to respond to emails about other university business. Please be patient, and do not send university-related emails to other addresses.
- Are you interested in something not covered by the categories above?
- It is unlikely that I will respond to emails on other topics. My time is finite, and every email I respond to chips away at time that I have for the people and projects that matter to me.
