switching departments in grad school?

What if an prof is part of an AE department but is also listed in an applied math dept? His webpage mentions that he is just part of the AE department?

<p>It means that you could probably have him as an eventual advisor but that contacting/listing him as a potential mentor is unlikely to get you far. He might not have any say about admissions because his appointment may be in applied math.</p>
