I am recruiting PhD students who have a passion for research in at least one of the following areas:

  • Parallel programming and performance optimizations
  • Data analytics and algorithm design
  • Program analysis
  • AI (knowledge graph, graph neural network, and NLP)
  • Below are some of our highlights:

  • Ranked No. 10 in the U.S. in systems research (CS Rankings.org as of Aug 2023)
  • Offering Dean's Fellowship for the first year, followed by RA/TA-ship
  • Working in a small team where each student receives great attention from the advisor
  • Placing a high standard on the quality of publications
  • Located near Los Angeles and San Diego, but much more afforadable to live
