mentorship

Interested in joining our group? Please read the following:

PhD applicants: I am accepting PhD students for 2024. We have one application season per year, with the next round of apps due Autumn 2023 to start the PhD program in Autumn 2024 (see more about both the iSchool and CSE programs).

Masters students/Undergraduates: I am not currently accepting new undergraduates or Masters students.

Other inquiries: Postdocs and visiting students are welcome to 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.

I receive many email requests and unfortunately may not be able to respond to them all. To increase your chances of receiving a response, please be specific in your message and request.

I have also had (and continue to have) the pleasure to mentor some amazing research interns and predoctoral scholars at AI2. If you're interested in what it's like to work with me, you can also reach out to these folks.
