Join us.

I am very keen on recruiting excellent students to work with me, at the Undergrad, MSc, PhD or postdoc level.

  • Check the links on the pages of Informatics or ANC for information on PhD studies. Also relevant is the Center for Doctoral Training (CDT) in Biomedical AI (MSc+ Phd program)

  • I am happy to help students apply for postdoc fellowships to work with us

  • French students can check fellowships from the Fyssen Fundation. I'm potentially interested in co-supervisions with a French laboratory.
Please contact me if you are interested (better with ideas of a project or at least a topic you'd like to investigate).
