Prospective students.
I always actively recruit research interns, PhD students, and postdoctoral researchers.
We are particularly interested in candidates with backgrounds in
neural rendering, generative models. Please visit my group website for our research:
www.immersivecomputinglab.org
Postdoctoral/visiting applicants: contact me with your resume.
PhD applicants: you are always welcome to apply to
Tandon CSE program and list me as a potential advisor: I will be able to see your package. Generally, we prefer a pre-application research collaboration.
