Students
Hiring new students
I am looking for highly motivated PhD, master’s, and undergraduate students.
-
Prospective PhD students: recruiting 3 PhD new students this season. Please apply to USC CS PhD program and mention my name as the prospective advisor.
-
Current USC PhD students, please email me.
-
Current USC Master students: please fill this form (must be logged in with USC GSuite account) and email me.
Areas of interests for PhD recruiting:
- Building a distributed operating system for flash bursts
- Energy efficient datacenter computing
- MLSys: e.g., making ML training/serving more efficient
What I look for:
- Programming Skills: a PhD student should be able to build a prototype in C++, Rust, or CUDA. Prior experience in companies such as Google/Facebook/Microsoft is a good indicator of this.
- Communication Skills: communication skills can be learnt during the PhD, but you need to start out willing to share and learn. If you are extremely shy/do not talk up, it will not matter how smart you are or how great your work is.
