Graduate Students

Highly motivated and qualified PhD students are always welcome to join our data mining research group.

Preferences are given to the students who are taking or have taken my courses because of the needed training.

We strive to make impact by performing persistent and innovative research and by working on challenging real-world problems. All students are expected to be self-motivated, hard-working, and creative team-players who produce quality work and publish their work in highly ranked conferences and journals. The former graduated students are now professors in research universities, employed by IT companies (Google, Honeywell, Microsoft, and Yahoo, among others) , work at research institutions, or as independent entrepreneurs/consultants. 

If you are seriously considering data mining and machine learning as your research directions, please send me email to make an appointment for interview. Please include "Data Mining and Machine Learning" in your email subject to warrant a  reply to your email inquiry.
