Thank you for your interest in working with us! Due to the large number of emails I receive, I cannot respond to every email individually. Please review the information below before contacting me.

Prospective graduate students: I will be taking 1-2 students every year. Please apply through the system and list me as a potential advisor in your application. There is no need to contact me individually.
I am also an ELLIS advisor as a Canada CIFAR AI Chair---if you are open to enrolling in the ELLIS PhD program, consider submitting your application there as well, and list me as a potential advisor. ELLIS PhD applicants will still need to follow the regular UW application process.
Please note that the below practice tasks are for undergraduate RAs, not for graduate applicants. A separate interview process will be conducted for graduate applicants around 1-2 months after the application deadline if advanced to the next stage.

Prospective postdocs: please email me directly with your CV and two representative publications, and apply to the Vector Postdoc Program.

Current UW undergraduate students, co-op applicants, and prospective visiting students: please submit an application following the instructions. You will need to complete one practice task as part of the application.
I can only consider co-op applicants who have completed at least 2 URA work terms with us. Students out of UW are also encouraged to apply to the Vector Research Internship Program.
Update (August 2025): In order to dedicate sufficient time to existing commitments, I am unable to take non-UW visitors until further notice, and I am unable to take Vector Research Interns until Summer 2026.

Current Waterloo graduate students: I unfortunately cannot support program transfer from other departments and schools, and cannot take on the sole supervisor role for current students out of SCS.
