Problem about contact the professor

[microbecode01]

Dear TheGradCafe friends,

Since this January, I have a problem contacting the professor who is doing exciting research that is also my interest; I would like to pursue an undergraduate research under him, and I had sent him an email on late January. He replied back, saying that the available project he has is on the software development (I am interested in both software and theoretical aspects of his work, which I clearly expressed on my first email). Since then, I have not been getting any reply from him, despite my effort of sending several emails after his reply (totaling five or so). I am not sure what step I should take to approach him; Should I just visit him during his office hour? I started to think that he does not like me since he did not reply to my five different emails, sent each after some time intervals (2 to 3 weeks per email). ..He is incredibly famous on his field, so perhaps he is too busy, but I did not get that impression...

I also mentioned in the email to let me know if he does not think I am a good fit for his research so I can start to look for other faculty members, but he did not even mention that...He has not giving me any reply since one in January....I am quite depressed about it.

Please provide me some advice or strategies....

Wait... did you talk to the grad students in his lab on how to approach him? Every Prof has a unique working style and is extremely busy.
