<ul style="margin-bottom:5px">
<li>We currently have openings for truly outstanding and highly motivated PhD students,
starting at
Spring 2024 and Fall 2024 semesters. Incoming PhD students will be funded as Fulton
Fellows (Fellowship) for the first year, and Graduate Research Assistantship (GRA)
will be provided later.</li>
<li>Interested candidates for PhD opportunities are <b
style="color:rgb(71, 71, 71)">strongly encouraged</b> to contact Dr. Gu by <a
href="mailto:jiaqigu@asu.edu">email</a> before sending in applications.
Please attach your CV, transcript, publications (if any) and clearly discuss your
research interest and experiences.</li>
<li>Self-funded visitors and interns are welcome to apply, and will be evaluated case
by case. We are always open to working with ASU undergraduates and master students
for projects. Please contact Dr. Gu by <a href="mailto:jiaqigu@asu.edu">email</a>

<b style="color:rgb(68, 68, 68)">What we expect from good candidates?</b>
<ul style="margin-bottom:5px">
<li>True enthusiasm for learning new things and in-depth investigation, devotion to
research, commitment to rigorous academic integrity, being highly self-motivated,
proactive towards challenges, and strong information acquisition and processing
capabilities</li>
<li>Two other important things that we look for: (1) a truly deep understanding of your
problem of interest; (2) a solid background in coding, ML, hardware (arch),
and mathematics. Our research is cross-disciplinary in nature and heavily involves
linear algebra, optimization, ML/DL, coding, computer
architecture, analog circuits, and physics (e.g., optics).</li>
</ul>
<!-- <b style="color:rgb(68, 68, 68)">What we provide to our students?</b>
<ul style="margin-bottom:5px">
<li>We have a very flat management structure with minimal communication overhead (“Talk
is cheap. Show me the code/math”). Every student works directly and closely with Dr.
Wang. The group also benefits a lot from its highly interactive, intimate, and
helpful culture.</li>
<li>We provide extraordinarily strong support to students for internship, visiting,
collaboration, networking, and scholarship opportunities. VITA Ph.D. students have
in total won six prestigious fellowships (NSF GRFP, IBM, Apple, Adobe, Qualcomm, and
Snap), among many other honors. You are welcome to check their rich experiences.
</li>
<li>Our students are highly popular among top employers, for both internship and
full-time opportunities. During Ph.D. time, almost everyone spends considerable time
researching with Google, Facebook, Microsoft, Amazon, Adobe, NVIDIA, and our many
other industry partners, for every year. </li>
