Prospective PhD students interested in working with me: I am actively recruiting PhD students to join my research group. If you are interested in working with me, please apply for admission to the PhD program in Software Engineering. ICS offer multiple PHD programs. If you apply to the other PhD programs, I am unlikely to see your application and unlikely to be your advisor. |
