If you are interested in joining my group:
  • If you are at/accepted to UC Berkeley EECS Ph.D. program: Please feel free to reach out!
  • If you are applying to the Ph.D. program: Thank you for your interest! I will take Ph.D. students through UC Berkeley EECS - please refer to the department's admission page for details.
    The best way is to select me as a potential advisor on your application form AND to mention my name in the final paragraph of your Statement of Purpose. I will make sure to read all applications that mention my name.
    I am unable to respond to individual emails about PhD admissions or discuss specific applications outside the university’s formal review process. Apologies for that, and thank you for your understanding.
  • If you are an undergraduate student at UC Berkeley EECS: Please see this page (log in with Berkeley email required for access) and fill out the application form.
  • If you are a M.S. student, a postdoc, or a visiting student: I take predoctoral students or postdocs through Ai2 - please see the last bullet point. Other than that, I do not take a M.S. student, a postdoc, or a visiting student.
  • If you are a student outside of UC Berkeley EECS: I regularly receive emails from amazing students around the world who are interested in working with me, and I truly appreciate this interest. Unfortunately, due to my limited capacity, I can only advise UC Berkeley students. I apologize in advance as I am unable to respond to these inquiries.
  • If you are interestedin opportunities at Ai2: I take PYIs (predoctoral students) and YIs (postdocs) through Ai2. Please apply directly to Ai2's openings here. Positions at AI2 are open to researchers whose work strongly aligns with AI2.

If you have questions about my research and/or papers: Thank you for your interest in our work! Please feel free to email me, and I will make sure to read it and get back to you. If I do not respond within two weeks, please feel free to send a reminder email. For papers that I am not a first author, please email the first author and cc me.

If you are looking for feedback on your Ph.D. application: To maintain fairness, I am unable to provide feedback on your Ph.D. application. I recommend checking out student-led programs for providing feedback on application materials (e.g., the one in UC Berkeley EECS) and this student-led website that compiles SoPs from past CS Ph.D. applications.

Do not cold-email me for startup ventures, consulting, or paid mentoring. I do not read or respond to such inqueries.
