For Prospective Students

I am looking for prospective PhD and MS students who are enthusiastic about doing fundamental work in causality and machine learning. In order of importance, things I look for in a Ph.D. candidate are motivation to do good research, mathematical maturity, a strong undergrad-level background in probability theory and linear algebra, and research experience (optional).

If you think you would be a good fit for our lab, please send me an email with your interests and CV with the subject line containing the word “Prospective”.

If you decide to apply to Purdue ECE, make sure to indicate your interest to work with me in your application materials where it is appropriate. A detailed description of which research projects you are interested in the most would be helpful.

For Undergraduates:

Our lab is open to Purdue undergraduates from related departments who would like to gain theoretical research experience. You must have taken ECE 302 or an equivalent undergraduate probability class, and be ready to contribute consistently in the assigned project. Feel free to send me an e-mail if you satisfy these criteria.
