Office Hours by appointment when classes are not meeting.

Email is by far the most reliable method to contact me, but if you must phone:

(408) 924-3526  (OFFICE HOURS ONLY! This is a shared phone and I'm probably not there other than during office hours. Chances that I'll get a message are low!)

Messages can also be left in my box at the department office, BT250 or 408-924-7790, but I won't necessarily get them promptly.
