Join our group
PhD applicants: This year's PhD applications have closed. The next application cycle for the 2025-26 school year will open in the fall. I primarily admit PhD students through the iSchool program though also have the ability to recruit through the CSE program.
Masters/Undergraduate students: I occasionally accept advanced undergraduate and Masters students enrolled at UW or elsewhere to conduct research. If you are at UW, you can receive credit for research. Sometimes, I may have funding for research assistantships, though I am not actively recruiting for any positions. If you reach out, please include your CV and the following information in your email:
- Which research questions or problems interest you?
- Why is this lab the right place to conduct this research?
- What do you hope to get out of this collaboration?
- Are you proficient in Python? If so, what frameworks (ML, NLP, data analytics, data visualization) are you familiar with? If you have sample code from an open source project (not a class project), please send a link.
- Have you worked with other faculty before on research? If so, summarize what you worked on.
- Have you taken any courses with content in NLP, ML, AI, CV, HCI, data/text mining, data science, or research methods (including any you are currently enrolled in)?
- If you have led any research publications, please include these as an attachment and describe your contributions.
Other inquiries: Postdocs and visiting students should email to discuss potential opportunities. Please include a description of your research interests, alignment with this lab, CV, any relevant recent publications, and your timeframe. If you are an international student, you may need to apply through the UW's VISIT program. Please note there is a 12-week lead time for visa applications.
