FAQ

I receive an overwhelming amount of emails from prospective students for PhD, MSc, MPhil. I am sorry if I have not been able to respond to your email. Here is a FAQ that may help you to find answers:

• Do you accept new students? Yes, I am always looking for good students. However, our group does not have any funding for studentships at the moment.

• How can I apply for a funding / scholarship? You can find a guideline here for the Informatics scholarships. Please do not forget ticking both IGPS and EGRS scholarship on the application form. Alternatively you can apply to one of the centres for doctoral training (CDT), Data Science, Robotics, BioMedical-AI, NLP .

• What kind of topics can I work on my PhD? I am open to take on students for a wide range of topics in the intersection of computer vision, machine learning and deep learning (see my recent publications to get a sense of what I am currently interested in).

• Can I be co-supervised? Yes it is quite common in the School of Informatics. Most PhD students do some collaborative work with other professors.

• I have decided to apply to one of these programs and I’d like to contact you. Please e-mail me with the title [Prospective Student].
