Prospective MS/PhD students: Please apply to either the Courant Computer Science
or the Center for Data Science degree programs at NYU through the standard channels. I take students from both sources. Contacting me personally is not necessary, as there are places in the application where you can flag your interest in working with me.
Due to the volume of applications we receive, I am unable to consult with prospective students about their applications or level of qualification for the program.
MS/PhD students already at NYU: Please email Greg directly.
Undergraduates at NYU: If you are interested in joining the lab, please email Greg directly. In your email, you should (1) attach a resume; (2) briefly describe any particularly relevant
prior experience. I typically do not take students who are looking for one-semester projects or capstone supervision.
Undergraduates/MS students from other institutions looking for internships: I do not typically take interns from other institutions. You can still feel free to email me.
