I am looking for Ph.D. students who are interested in pursuing Data Science and Machine Learning research, especially Trustworthy Machine Learning (including explainability, fairness, robustness, and other directions mentioned in our HCAI website). These days, I’m particularly interested about the intersection of trustworthy machine learning and large language models (LLMs).

Also, self-funded visiting students/scholars are welcome to apply. The recruiting information can also be found in 微信公众号 and 一亩三分地.

Applications: Students from Computer Science/Software Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Statistics, Mathematics, Physics or other related disciplines are strongly encouraged to apply! Students from other disciplines, but showing strong interests, creativity and learning initiatives, are also welcome to apply! If you are interested in the positions, please feel free to contact me at dumengnan@gmail.com. Here are some suggestions in preparing the email:

  • Please use Subject Line as: $TermYouApply Prospective Students $YourName

  • Please highlight your publications (if applicable), GPA/ranking, TOEFL and GRE scores, and anything important

  • Attach your CV

  • I will carefully read every email, but please understand that I cannot afford to reply all of them
