Prospective Ph.D. students:
Thank you for your interest! I take Ph.D. students every year through UC Berkeley EECS (see the department's page).
The best way to ensure I see your application is to (1) select "AI-LANG" as your area, and (2) list me as a potential adviser on the form and mention me in your Statement of Purpose.
Emailing me won't affect admission decisions, and I am not able to respond to individual admissions emails.
UC Berkeley undergrads: If you are a Berkeley student, please see this page (Berkeley log in required).
Students should be very familiar with CS 288 materials to be considered.
Visitors/remote interns: I won't be able to host visitors or remote interns - sorry!
Prospective postdocs:
I expect to hire one postdoc jointly with Ai2, based in Berkeley. Please apply through the application portal and feel free to email me. Strong research fit is essential.
