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.
  • If you're a Princeton undergraduate interested in an IW (incl. senior thesis) and/or in research, please read here on how to apply and what the process would be like.
  • If you're a Princeton student interested in helping with the Princeton AI4ALL camp, please sign up for the mailing list and stay tuned.

Non-Princeton folks
  • If you're interested in doing a postdoc in the Visual AI Lab, please email me a brief description of your research interests, a link to your homepage, and your CV. Please specifically meantion any leadership roles you've taken on (academic or otherwise) as well as any work you've done to build a more inclusive scientific community. You should also consider applying for the Princeton AI lab postdoc positions and/or for the Princeton Center for IT Policy fellows positions.
  • 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 a high school student interested in research unfortunately the only options we have available at the moment are through Princeton AI4ALL (for low-income 10th grade students) and (occasionally) through Princeton Lab Learning Program. You can also search for other AI4ALL summer programs for high school students: e.g., Stanford AI4ALL, UCSF AI4ALL.
  • 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.
