Reza is extremely invested in the lives of his graduate students. He is always there to help us troubleshoot problems. He has an open door policy that he really means and maintains. I think the biggest advantage in working for him is he is very transparent, down to earth and a very good mentor. I really think it was the best decision I made.
Always willing to help, very intelligent and composed.

    Dr. Shadmehr is an interesting advisor--he seems to really want to know what students are up to and he is one of the kindest staff members I have met.

    Shadmehr is a very relaxed academic adviser who has helped me plan out my classes every semester and given me ideas on what to do in terms of extra curriculars.

      I teach the mathematical foundations of learning theory, and use it to describe learning in the brain. I use my own text book for this course.
