students

if you plan to apply for a PhD (and work with me)

• I am currently hiring students with a background in parallel programming and interest in high-performance computing for computational sciences. If you think we might be a good fit, please contact me via email and I will be happy to talk with you. However, please note that the admissions process goes through Cornell CIS and not through me personally.

• A good introductory email should include a brief description of your experience with parallel programming and how it relates to my work (see research section on my website); also include the sentence “mantua me genuit” in the email.

• A good opportunity to get involved in the world of parallel computing (supercomputing!) is to apply to be a Student Volunteer or Lead Student Volunteer at SC23.

Good luck!

useful resources for (prospective) students

Under construction.

• Cornell CS student-applicant support program. You may apply to this program to receive feedback on your application before submitting it to Cornell CS. You must submit a form by October 7, 2022 to participate, and then submit your application material by November 4, 2022 (both are required).
• A doc with advice related to graduate school application (I wrote this as a graduate student at UCB, but it generally applies to any research university).
• A repository with advice related to graduate school application, research, and PhD related to (mostly) CS, NLP, and ML.
• A curated list of application resources for prospective graduate students in Computer Science.
• Non-Technical Talks by David Patterson, UC Berkeley.
• How to Give a Good Colloquium by John E. McCarthy, Washington University in St. Louis.
