Open Positions for Doctoral Students

We are seeking a Ph.D. student to join in an exciting new research project on designing bio-inspired models in lifelong learning scenarios funded by multiple agencies such as NSF. Specifically, the candidate is expected to study and develop algorithms with theoretical and formulations. A successful candidate will be able to propose novel algorithmic approaches and provide strong mathematical proof for the former, towards solving challenges/addressing knowledge gaps in lifelong learning. The successful candidate will also be part of a rich and emerging AI community, with the newly established UTSA AI consortium (MATRIX) community. The consortium engages with the private sector, academia, the Greater San Antonio community and international partners to advance the state of the art in human-aware AI.

The candidate will be mentored by Dr. Dhireesha Kudithipudi and often in collaboration with leading scientists in the field. Relevant recent publications from the lab can be found in the publications section and (CVPR-W, ICML-W, DATE, IEEE Signal Processing Magazine, IEEE TC).

Qualifications and Requirements

  • Master's degree, or equivalent, in a discipline related to computer science, statistics, information processing and/or machine learning.
  • Background and/or strong interest in developing skills in statistical analysis, mathematics of machine learning, quantitative methods, and probability theory.
  • Knowledge in programming, preferably in Python, R or C++. And an understanding of data structures, data modeling ( SQL ) and software architectures.
  • Familiarity in deep learning frameworks and libraries is preferred(Tensorflow/TensorRT, Pytorch, Keras, or similar) and data analysis libraries ( Pandas, numpy, matplotlib, scikit-learn, seaborn, etc).
  • Willingness to learn and write robust code using new frameworks or programming languages based on the project requirements.
  • The successful candidate will be expected to design and perform independent research and publish papers in refereed top conferences and journals, through interdisciplinary research collaborations.
  • Candidates should keep abreast of the latest developments in the field and develop strong research aptitude.
  • Good written and verbal communication skills are essential.
  • A collaborative spirit and the ability to work as part of an interdisciplinary team are essential.
