My nephew graduated from Texas State in May, Summa Cum Laude, with a degree in Physics. He is applying to graduate schools for next fall, and want to focus on AI/robotics. I am trying to convince him to apply to A&M. Does anyone have a contact for one of the professors who would be willing to talk to him about the program at A&M?

The kid will go to the highest ranked school in his specific field of interest that has the most enticing GRA opportunity. Assuming he's like every other engineering nerd I've ever known.

It's good to be top of your engineering (or engineering type) class. It's best to enjoy that while he can, as long as possible. Hopefully he's an entrepreneur.

Best of luck to you're awesome nephew.
