Prospective Students

I am looking for students (PhD, Masters, undergrads, interns) who are passionate about research, interested in data mining, machine learning and human-computer interaction research, and strong in programming and/or math. You will be mainly working on data mining and machine learning in real-world applications, especially on reinforcement learning, urban computing and human-in the loop machine learning. Master’s and undergraduate students within ASU and self-funded visiting students/scholars are also welcome to apply.

If you are interested in working with me, please see the instructions and fill in this form.

Several fully-funded PhD positions are available in Fall 2024/Spring 2025

•  I’m looking for highly motivated PhD/intern students to join my group. The official PhD application deadline for the Fall 2024 application cycle is Dec 15, 2023 (details). 

You are expected to have:

• Programing experience (preferably with Python and/or C++)
• Background in machine learning and/or data mining, which is a plus
• Mathematical foundation (e.g. probability theory, statistics, linear algebra and optimization), which is a plus
• Experience with deep learning frameworks such as PyTorch, TensorFlow, which is a plus
• Publications (at venues such as KDD, WWW, CIKM, AAAI, IJCAI, ICML, NeurIPS, ICLR, ECML-PKDD), which are pluses

ASU MS students

I typically recruit ASU Master students from my CSE 572 Data Mining course, please consider taking it first.

I will read every email, but unfortunately, I cannot afford to reply to all of them.
