About my research

To learn about my research, please take a look a my (a little out of date) research pages and some of my publications.

You can also read about the machine learning research I do in this article.

Students ALREADY AT UB

Do you want me to be on your PhD committee?: Before you ask me, please read this page.

Interested in asking me to be your PhD advisor?: I have Research Assistantships available. If you satisfy all of:

Taken (or are taking) CSE 574 Introduction to Machine Learning, or equivalent, and obtained (or set to obtain) a very good grade,
Currently enrolled in a PhD program at UB,
Solid background in math and statistics. Try these examples: you should quickly see the error in , and know what the result of is,

then please send me an email.

Students OUTSIDE UB

To students who are APPLYING to the PhD program in CSE at UB to work in machine learning

If your research interests include machine learning, artificial intelligence, bioinformatics, approximate algorithms, or Bayesian reasoning, and you would like to work with me, please indicate this clearly in your application to the CSE department on the Area Selection form.

*All applications are handled by the Graduate Admissions Committee of the Computer Science Department, and I am unfortunately unable to respond on an individual basis (e.g. email) to any inquiries you might have, since I receive so many of them. But, if your application has merit and you have indicated my name, rest assured that I will certainly see it.

Good luck in your applications! I look forward to working with you.
