Should I be contacting professors whose profile I find very interesting but not able to find out any research?

[InstinctVegeta]

Hi All,

I am going through a lot of graduate schools faculty lists and trying to find which professor has done research which I find interesting. Till now, I am able to obtain only a handful of such professors. Some professors have a good bio on the university website but have no footprint of a research paper anywhere. And in some cases, the name itself is so common that I find myself sifting through other lecturer's work.

So would it be a good idea to start up a chat in order to get more details in their research area, assuming that I would be aiming for that university also?

Thanks.
