News and Opportunities

As of Fall 2015, I will be moving to EPFL in Switzerland. So if you are a prospective PhD student interested in working with me in particular, please apply to EPFL's PhD program.

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.
