FAQ for propsective students
Yes, I am looking for highly motivated students to join our group! I am looking for 2-3 PhD students for 2023 Fall.
Prospective PhDs: If you are interested in working with me, please apply directly through the USC CS PhD program and select me as the first or second PI. I will start contacting students for a phone interview in late January. Unfortunately, due to the large amount of emails, I won't be able to give individual feedback and cannot afford to reply to them all. If you really want to email me, to make sure that your email doesn't get spam filtered, include "03010916" in the subject line -- it also tells me that you've read this page. (If you have already sent me the email before 11/02/2022, there is no need to resend it.)
Prospective summer interns: My official start date at USC will be August 2023, so I cannot take summer interns for 2023. At this stage, I cannot say for the future.
Existing USC/UMD students: (1) PhD students: If you think our research interest overlaps, please feel free to reach out. (2) Master or Undergraduate students: I am happy to work with master or undergraduate students. We expect students to have some prior knowledge about NLP or ML (e.g., to take relevant courses).
Students outside USC/UMD: As stated above, if your email is about recruitment, I might not be able to reply -- apologies! If you have questions regarding my research, please feel free to reach out, but I might be slow to reply.
