Position Openings: To Perspective Students and Postdocs

• I am currently looking for multiple Ph.D. students and Postdocs doing supervised research or independent study with me in the CSE department at Notre Dame.

  The postdocs will be provided competitive packages and the Ph.D. students will be provided research assistantships which cover the full cost of tuition and offer the full year (12 month/year) stipend and benefits. I will work with each postdoc or student to identify the most suitable topic based on his/her academic interests and background. I will also help each postdoc or student to build his/her strong capability and publication record as well as the career development with a good timing. I very much enjoy working with each member in my group and take each postdoc or student as a friend and a collaborator. Doing research is to build an enjoyable career and have fun.
