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).
