I am always looking for hardworking, passionate, and self-motivated students to join my group working on cutting edge research at the intersection of computer vision, natural language processing, and machine learning. Please carefully read this page if you are interested in working with me.

The Data and Decision Sciences Building at Virginia Tech

Our group is located in the Data and Decision Sciences Building. Aside from its strong engineering and computer science program, Virginia Tech features a beautiful campus in a welcoming community with a small-town feel. I hope you'll consider joining us!

All Students

All students interested in working with me should fill out this form and upload a CV and transcript. Please do not e-mail me unless you belong to one of the two groups below. I will reach out if there is a potential match.

Two groups of students may e-mail me directly after filling out the form: current Virginia Tech students, and particularly competitive prospective students who have at least one accepted first-author paper at a top-tier venue (accepted, not only submitted). Please indicate in the e-mail that you have filled out the form. I will respond back as soon as possible.

Students Interested in Joining Virginia Tech

If you are interested in joining my group, please directly apply for admission to the Virginia Tech Computer Science department program. Please see this page for additional details.

Please tag me in your application and mention my name in your application materials. I review all strong applications where I am tagged as a potential advisor. In addition, please fill out the form above.

Note: Due to the large number of students who apply to work with me, I am unable to respond to all e-mails. However, I do my best to respond to competitive applicants and those who have clearly put effort into the application process.
