Princeton is an exciting place to do research in computer science, and I hope that you will consider it. Here are answers to some frequently asked questions.
- I am looking for highly motivated, top-quality
graduate students interested in systems, networking, or security.
I typically take at least one Ph.D. and/or Masters student per year, and
all admitted graduate students get full financial support. I would be
very happy to discuss specific research questions you might have
about my own work, or discuss specific problems you are
interested in pursuing that fall within my research interests. However,
first see materials on my website or that
of my group.
- Sending generic emails to individual faculty
members does not help your application. Students are admitted to
the graduate program, and not to research groups of individual faculty
members. If you are interested in working with me, however, I do
encourage you to mention this in your application. Applications are due
around December; more information can be found here.
A systems colleague also has great answers to some frequently asked questions.
- It is impossible for me to evaluate your chances
for admission, so please don't send your CV and ask for my
prediction. A general guideline is that we usually only admit students
who are at or close to the top of their class in terms of academic
strength and research potential.
- I do not take long-term Ph.D. visitors from
foreign universities, unless I happen already to know your work
or your advisor. "Full" support through programs like the China
Scholarships Council (CSC) only covers about half the costs of funding a
visitor.
- I do not have any internships for undergraduates
from foreign universities, nor does Princeton support visa
applications for summer internships.
