Prospective Students
General information
My research group is always seeking talented and dedicated PhD and thesis-based MASc students to work on practical and impactful research topics. Our work focuses on the intersection of AI systems (e.g., ML, DL, & FL), blockchains, cloud computing, and database management systems (DBMS), addressing real-world challenges and advancing state-of-the-art solutions.
Concordia accepts applications with three different start dates (Fall, Winter, Summer). Please refer to the application information here. I especially encourage students from under-represented groups to consider applying.
For Concordia students:
If you are registered in another department within GCS, you may stay in your current department while being supervised by me. For example, if you are enrolled in the CSSE Department, you can keep your registration there -- you do not need to transfer departments to join my research group.
