• Directed Study Projects are also encouraged for students interested in intelligent algorithms and autonomous systems.

Visiting PhD Students and Scholars

We are open to hosting visiting PhD students and scholars from around the world whose interests align with the lab.

• Preferred topics include RL, MARL, MAS, edge intelligence, and robotics.
• We can support visitors whose research plans closely match the group's ongoing work.

Required Documents

• CV
• Cover letter
• Research plan focused on RL, MARL, MAS, edge intelligence, or robotics
