Open Positions

I have a few openings for funded 4-year PhD and 5-term (~1.5 years) thesis-based MSc students, to work on large-scale probabilistic models (Bayesian and frequentist), decision-making under uncertainty (Bayesian optimization, bandits, tree search, etc.), and their applications in AI4Science (chemistry, biology, etc.).

Important: My work is in the foundation of machine learning (think math, proofs, algorithms), but motivated by applications. I’m not looking for candidates who are interested only in applications.

PhD positions

• See if you fulfill the basic requirements set by the school.
• To be compatible with me, you must both: (i) have solid foundational mathematical and programming knowledge, and just as importantly, (ii) be reliable.
  • If you are comfortable reading Bishop’s Pattern Recognition and Machine Learning or Murphy’s Probabilistic Machine Learning book, then you are on the right track.
  • You also need to have mathematical maturity and be familiar with Python and ML frameworks.
  • Reliability means: you are self-disciplined and organized; if you promised that you are going to do by time , then you must deliver at time , with few exceptions.
• Before you apply on the system, contact me via email.
  • Give a short intro on why we will be a good match.
  • Attach your CV and transcripts.
• If there is a potential match, I will contact you back as soon as I can, and we go from there.
  • Unfortunately, I cannot reply to all emails due to the amount I received. I apologize in advance.
