I have, at least for now, decommissioned my previous challenge/response email spam filter. No special protocol is required to send me email. This may change again in the future.
I still get too much email, and can't always answer (or answer promptly).
If you are interested in doing graduate study at MIT in EECS, please apply directly to the department:
EECS Admissions web site
Please do not contact me directly about admission to the EECS graduate program, or contact me about possible funding prior to being admitted for study by the department.
I do not accept applications for non-MIT students to visit as an intern for a short period or for the summer. Please do not send me letters of inquiry about such a possible internship.
