Would you explain how to propose to have a quick chat ? By e-mail or by phone? Or some other means? If by e-mail, how would the OP know the e-mail won't be overlooked again?

I see no other way than to do it per mail. If he consistently ignores your mail, you should start worrying.

As a professor, I will second the quick chat suggestion. Sometimes I will spend an hour writing an email that ends up less productive than a half-hour (or even less!) conversation. Knowing that kind of email in advance makes me more likely to put off responding to the original email. So I am likely to respond to the follow-up with "Sure, call me at x time and we'll sort it out."

If one is deliberately ignored, it's not the right place to work at, anyway.
