Supervision
Advertisement: I’m happy to hold (remote/in-person) visitors, my previous visitors are here. Please read For Prospective Students before emailing me. Attaching a slide/review that provides a high-level overview of potential directions for our work together is a bonus item!
Due to the large amount of emails, I may miss some of the emails. The best way to approach me is by filling out the form
For Ph.D. Applicants I’m actively looking for Ph.D. students starting in Fall 2024. Although Ph.D. admissions to Northwestern IEMS are handled at a department-wide level, not by me individually, candidates with undergraduate backgrounds in applied mathematics/computational physics, computer science, or statistics are encouraged to contact me by email with the following documentation:
- a current CV, which should include your previous research projects
- Short answer to the questions in For Prospective Students
- A slide/review that provides a high-level overview of potential directions for our work together, with an emphasis on areas of overlap between our interests. (theoretical/computational are both welcome)
I will dedicate 30 mins every week for junior PhD/master/undergraduate students, if you would like to chat about life, career plan, or research ideas related to AI/ML, feel free to email me to schedule a meeting. I encourage students from underrepresented groups to reach out and will prioritize these meetings. File the form.
