Interested in Joining Our Group?

We are always looking for motivated students and researchers passionate about machine learning. If you're interested in pushing the boundaries of what's possible, we'd love to hear from you.

We welcome applications from PhD students, MSc students, undergraduate students, and visiting scholars. For undergraduate students, please make sure to check the following recomendations.

For PhD applicants, please apply through UW Madison's graduate school (CS or ECE).

Candidates with a foundation in mathematics and an analytical mindset are well aligned with my research priorities. Our recent work provides insights into the research directions we are pursuing. Although the volume of applications is high and I may not be able to respond to every inquiry individually, please be assured that every submission will be evaluated during our rigorous review process.
