Due to the high volume of inquiries, I will not be able to respond to every email individually. Please use the appropriate channel below.
Prospective PhD Students
I am currently seeking motivated PhD students, ideally with experience in robotics and/or artificial intelligence. If you have a relevant background and are interested in joining my research group, please mention my name in your application to the UCLA CS PhD program. The application deadline is December 15th. I will begin scheduling Zoom or phone interviews with selected candidates in late January and February.
Master's Students
Please apply to the UCLA CS MS program and contact me after you have been accepted. If you would like to do a capstone project or MS Thesis with me, please send an email with the title "Prospective MS Capstone/Thesis student" and your CV and transcript. If you wish to join an ongoing project instead, please fill out this application form to indicate your interest. I periodically review them and will reach out if there is an opportunity that suits you.
UCLA Undergraduate Students
Please fill out this application form to indicate your interest. I periodically review them and will reach out if there is an opportunity that suits you.
Summer Undergraduate Research Interns
Please fill out this application form by March 1st (same year you wish to do a summer intern).
I especially encourage students from historically underrepresented backgrounds in STEM to apply, even if your experience does not align precisely with robotics or AI!
