MS: I only have a few need-base positions available in my lab.

I am always excited to work with motivated students who are eager to push the boundaries in building trustworthy and socially responsible ML-enabled applications and systems. It's important to emphasize that the key qualification is being "motivated", not interested. Motivation is essential, especially for those considering a PhD, which requires a strong commitment over the next five to seven years in this research area. If you're not yet certain about making this long-term commitment, I encourage you to consider applying as an MS student or getting involved in undergraduate research opportunities first.

Strong PhD candidates should have a solid background in computer security and/or machine learning. If you're unsure what that means, I encourage you to review the materials on my course websites; ask yourself whether you can understand the concepts and implement them from scratch. Another useful metric is to look through my recent publications. If you can follow the core ideas and independently implement the main experiments, you are likely well-prepared for research in this area.

PhD: All PhD students are fully funded, including tuition and a monthly stipend, throughout their studies. If you are considering applying as a PhD student, please make sure to read the Research Stipend section in the Oregon State University's website for important details before submitting your application.

MS/Undergraduates: Please note that while I have financially supported MS and undergraduate students in the past, funding is not guaranteed for MS or undergraduate researchers.
