In 2004-05, we had tremendous success in placing our doctoral students in the BIT faculty job market. Although the market was very tough this year (excess from the supply side and thinner from the demand side), we had three students in the market (Sunil Mithas, Harris Wu and Kevin Kuan) and placed all three of them. Sunil Mithas visited Maryland, USC, Purdue, Penn State, Rensselaer Polytechnic, University of Tulsa, and California State University at San Marcos. He received offers from all the seven universities and has decided to join Maryland. Basically, he got offers from the best schools that were in the market this year. Harris Wu also had several interviews and is joining Old Dominion University. Kevin Kuan is joining City University of Hong Kong.

In 2003-04, Neveen Farag was one of the top candidates in the market with six offers including schools like Maryland and Penn Sate. In 2002-03, Ramanath Subramanyam received the highest number of offers among all candidates in the market that year (five offers). Our job placement success in consecutive years really reflects the quality of our doctoral program.
