If you are interested in joining my lab:
  • 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.
    Please note that I am unable to respond to individual emails or discuss specific applications outside of the university’s formal review process.
    Updates for the 2025 admission: You can now submit your application at this website (deadline: December 9).
    • For the Program: Select "EECS - Computer Science PhD".
    • For research interest: Select "AI - Language (AI-LANG)".
    • For faculty preference: There is a dropdown but my name is not added yet. Please enter my name in the free-form text box below the dropdown and mention me in your Statement of Purpose. I will ensure that your application is reviewed.
  • 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: At the moment, I do not plan to 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 may be unable to respond to these inquiries.

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, it is best to email the first author and cc me.

If you are looking for feedback on your research and/or papers: Thank you for your willingness to share your work with me! Please feel free to email me, and I will do my best to provide feedback when my schedule permits.

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.
