Openings for Graduate Students
Each year our group seeks highly motivated students to fill a few openings for Ph.D. students, who can graduate with a Master degree if they fail the Ph.D. Qualify Exam or only want to do a Master.
Several unique opportunities for our group members:
1) They have the opportunities to work on joint research projects with some of the top research groups in the world. For instance, the BSIM group lead by Prof. Chenming Hu@UC Berkeley and Prof. Xin Li's group@Duke University. See more about our collaborators at http://sist.shanghaitech.edu.cn/faculty/zhoupq/people.collaborators.html.
2) Excellent members also have the opportunities to visit our partner groups for either a long or short term. For instance, in Spring 2015 we sent one student to visit Prof. Jan M. Rabaey's group@UC Berkeley for half a year, see http://sist.shanghaitech.edu.cn/NewsDetail.asp?id=353, and in Fall 2017, we sent one student to visit Prof. Sachin Sapatnekar's group@Univ. of Minnesota for one year.
3) For those students who graduate with a master degree from our group, they can either 1) easily find an industrial job in the local area around ShanghaiTech with decent pay, or 2) join a research group in top institutes in USA to pursue their PhD degrees. See http://sist.shanghaitech.edu.cn/faculty/zhoupq/people.students.html for the first positions of our group alumni.
Applicants are expected to have strong background on at least part of the following aspects: programming skills and algorithm design, optimization theory, VLSI design and computer architecture. If interested, please send your resume to zhoupq@shanghaitech.edu.cn.
