Openings

If you are interested in AI4CE

1. Read this site to get a sense of the research, through our past and recent publications.
2. Fill in this form rather than emailing the PI directly.
3. Wait for a reply from our senior members. Expect some delay — research schedules are busy. You can also reach out to senior members directly if you need a faster response.
4. For international visiting students, we expect the visit to last 6 months ideally, and at least 3. NYU needs 2–3 months to process the paperwork for a visa.

Postdoc applicants

We do not currently have funding to support postdoctoral researchers.

Ph.D. applicants

1. The PI advises Ph.D. students from several NYU units (CUE, MAE, CSE, Courant), as long as there is a good match of research interests — broadly AI and robotics — from a competitive candidate.
2. Strong coding and/or hands-on robotics skills are basic requirements. Publications in fields overlapping the group's venues (CVPR, NeurIPS, ICRA, AutCon and similar) are strongly preferred.

M.S., undergraduate and K-12

1. If you are already at NYU, paid positions may become available after at least one semester with AI4CE — lab manager, grader, or research assistant. You can also take an independent or guided research course, or an M.S. capstone project with the PI. We have done this for students from CUE, CSE, MAE, ECE and Courant.
2. If you are not at NYU, we welcome volunteering-based research internships, including summer and remote ones, but cannot offer paid positions due to university policy.
3. Attending our weekly group meeting is the best way to understand what we do and to hear about new opportunities.
4. To register an independent study, M.S. project or thesis with the lab, follow the Research Project Guidelines and Proposal Template (open to NYU students).
