Current UIUC Students

If you’re already a UIUC student and you are interested in joining my lab, please fill out the interest form. I will contact you if there are available positions that match your background and research interests. It is expected that you have taken at least one core ML-related course before reaching out. Note that undergraduate students are typically recruited through the NCSA SPIN program.

Important Note

Due to a large volume of emails, I am unable to respond to individual queries via email or other platforms. If you do not receive a response, it is likely that there are no positions currently available or that your research interests and/or background are not a match for our lab at this time. Finally, I am currently not recruiting students at Virginia Tech, either at the Blacksburg or the NOVA campus.
