Prosective Students


  • Prospective PhD students: I am currently seeking motivated PhD students, ideally with experience in robotics and/or artificial intelligence. Due to the high volume of inquiries, I may not be able to respond to every email individually. 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 February.

  • UCLA Master and 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 intern: 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!
