Partner with Us
We are actively recruiting highly motivated students with a strong background in computer vision and multimodal ML (specifically generative modeling, embodied AI, or 3D vision) to build the next generation of models for perception, reasoning, and action.
If you are excited to tackle these research problems within a fast-paced, diverse, and collaborative team, consider joining PLAN Lab.
If you are interested in joining PLAN Lab as a graduate student, please submit a formal application to your preferred University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign graduate program(s) from the list below:
In your application, please list Ismini Lourentzou as a potential advisor. We especially encourage applications from candidates with experience in generative modeling, embodied AI, or 3D vision and a strong research background in computer vision or multimodal machine learning.
Please also complete this interest form so that we can better understand your background and research interests. PLAN Lab typically reviews applications in December–February and schedules interviews during this period.
Please note we may not be able to respond to individual queries via email. If you do not hear back, it may just reflect bandwidth constraints. The best way to be considered is to submit a formal application.
We welcome current UIUC graduate and undergraduate students to join or collaborate with the PLAN Lab. We also recruit through programs such as NCSA SPIN or work with students on their IS/CS/ECE independent studies. If you are interested, fill out the interest form. We will reach out if there are available positions aligning with your background and research interests. It is expected that you have completed at least one core ML-related course and have experience with PyTorch.
