PLEASE MAKE SURE THAT YOU READ THIS CAREFULLY. I have been through the Ph.D. application process and luckily received admits from numerous universities. I have discovered that there are different subtleties people tend to ignore and treat the Ph.D. application in a very similar fashion as compared to MS applications. Send me a mail with the Subject - "Prospective Ph.D. applicant" if you want to discuss your application. In case you want to discuss anything about the cybersecurity field, use the subject - "Cybersec Discussion". Do choose your subjects accordingly in case you want to talk about anything different from these topics. Note - MS applicants should prefer not mailing me because I find myself incompetant to advice them. Meeting hours usually will be on Sunday (9 AM - 10 AM). Any changes would be communicated via mail. Thanks Ritik
