Work on learning that holds up in the real world

We are looking for students who want to build efficient, adaptive, and trustworthy learning algorithms — and see them matter beyond the benchmark.

Open positions
Open

Ph.D. students

Full-time doctoral research in any of the lab's areas. Admission through the Graduate School of Data Science.

    Apply to GSDS

    Graduate positions require admission to the Graduate School of Data Science; we will guide you on timing.

What we look for

Strong foundations

Comfort with linear algebra, probability, and optimization — and the ability to turn them into working code.

Curiosity with follow-through

You ask why a method works, run the experiment, and keep going when the first answer is wrong.

Care for real impact

Interest in whether methods hold up outside the benchmark — in language, physical, or industrial systems.
