Hi! I very much want to meet you. Unfortunately I get more emails than I can respond to, so to streamline the process, let's do the following:

Princeton students
  • If you’re a Princeton graduate student interested in joining or collaborating with the Visual AI Lab, please email me including a brief description of your research interests and a link to your homepage. We'll find a time to meet. You're also welcome to sign up for office hours.
  • If you're a Princeton undergraduate interested in an IW (incl. senior thesis), please read here on how to apply and what the process would be like.
  • If you're a Princeton undergraduate interested in research, please start by first doing an IW with me. I'm always looking for outstanding students to engage in ongoing research projects, but the best way to find out if there's a good match is to dive in with an IW project.
  • If you're a Princeton student interested in helping with the Princeton AI4ALL camp, please sign up for the mailing list and stay tuned. I'm also happy to chat in office hours.
  • If you're a Princeton student with other questions, please sign up to come to office hours.

Non-Princeton folks
  • If you're interested in doing a postdoc in the Visual AI Lab, please apply here.
  • If you're applying to study at Princeton, there is no need to email me. I apologize that I may not be able to respond. To ensure that I read your application, please: (1) apply to the Princeton CS PhD program, (2) declare a specialization in AIML or Vision, and (3) mention my name in the application. I look forward to meeting you once you’re admitted.
  • If you're interested in a temporary research position in the Visual AI Lab, unfortunately it is unlikely we will be able to accommodate at this time. We get many requests for visiting researchers and I’m unfortunately unable to respond to all such inquiries.
  • If you're an AI4ALL alum, feel free to email me with questions. Be sure to include "AI4ALL", the program you attended and the year in the subject so it doesn't get lost. If you attended Princeton AI4ALL and are asking for a letter of recommendation, please instead email the Program Coordinator; put my name and the ai4all at princeton dot edu email address as your recommender. If you're looking for research opportunities, please stay tuned -- I'm trying to figure out a way to recruit high school AI4ALL alums for research at Princeton but do not have the details yet. I will advertise through the Changemakers mailing lists once I do.
  • If you're a high school student interested in research and you have not previously attended an AI4ALL summer program, please start by applying to one of the many options.
  • If you're writing a news article about diversity/inclusion in STEM or AI please contact the folks at AI4ALL directly. They will loop me in at the right time.
