Come build efficient AI with us

The Efficient Machine Intelligence Lab is newly founded and actively recruiting its first members. If you're excited about making deep learning faster, smaller, and smarter, we'd love to hear from you.

Ph.D. Students

Fully funded positions for students who want to pursue research in efficient deep learning and publish at top venues.

M.S. Students

For students who want to build a strong research foundation in machine learning and systems.

Interns & Undergrads

Short-term research internships and undergraduate projects for motivated students eager to get hands-on.

What we look for

A good fit

  • Solid programming skills (Python; PyTorch is a plus) and a willingness to build.
  • Comfort with the math behind machine learning — linear algebra, probability, optimization.
  • Curiosity about efficiency: quantization, pruning, LLMs/VLMs, agentic AI, spiking networks, or hardware-aware ML.
  • Self-motivation, honesty, and a collaborative attitude. Backgrounds from all disciplines are welcome.
