Joining the lab
We are looking for motivated researchers interested in designing novel cameras and algorithms. If your interests and shared values align, see below for how to join us!
Prospective PhD students
PhD applications are typically due in December. If you’d like to work with me, apply directly to the CS department and mention my name in your application. Cornell does PhD admissions via committee, so please do not email me before submitting your application!
The PhD program is fully funded (check out an estimate of the CS stipends vs. cost of living in Ithaca here), but I also recommend all PhD students to apply to graduate fellowships since this will give you more flexibility throughout your PhD. For domestic students, the most common fellowships are the NSF GRFP and the NDSEG. For a broader list of fellowships, please see Cornell's page on graduate fellowships and this curated list of CS fellowships.
Prospective Postdocs
Excellent postdoctoral candidates are encouraged to email me with the subject line including the words "Prospective Postdoc" to discuss current openings. In your email please include:
- Your CV with a publication list
- Short description of past and future research interests
- Names and contact info of 2 academic references
Current Cornell students
Cornell PhD students: Send me an email and we can set up a time to chat!
Cornell undergraduate students: We accept several undergradudate researchers into our lab every year. Students can do research for pay, academic credit, or on a volunteer basis. If you’d like to work with us, fill out this form.
Shared Values
As a group we value:
- Open-science: We strive to open-source our data and code to facilitate reproducible science and help move the field forward.
- Do good, not evil: We believe in working towards scientific advancement for good, not evil. We will not take on projects that will harm people. In addition, we abide by the ACM Code of Ethics.
- Inclusivity: We are committed to maintaining an inclusive and supportive atmosphere within the group where each voice is heard. Diversity of thought and background are celebrated in our lab and all are welcome.
- Mutual respect: We believe in treating each other with respect and kindness.
- Growth and reflection: We are always learning, adapting, and striving to do better together. We will agree on shared values together, and these may change and grow over time.
- Work-life balance: Creative researchers need breaks. Research is a marathon, not a race, so please take your weekends, evenings, and vacations to enjoy your life and refresh your mind for creative thinking!
