Opportunities

I am always looking for graduate students, postdoctoral researchers, and undergraduate interns. I will also be in search of support staff for my new lab at EPFL: at least one software engineering position, and a group/event manager position, details to be posted in the coming months. Feel contact me if you think you have the right skills and relevant interests.
