How do you find a good professor to talk to?
Narrow your search to the people whose work you’re really interested in. Read their papers (especially recent ones – I’ve had people email me about stuff I did 5 year ago – I’ve moved on :)) Think about their work. Find something intelligent to say (even a question). Email the professor and focus on those questions.
