The graduate student positions are in our Saint Louis Campus and are described below. The postdoc positions are at in Doha, Qatar for projects that are being coordinated by me. I will work and guide the postdocs.
To apply for graduate student positions, you DO NOT need to already know Quantum computing. But you should know about networking, security, and AI.
For postdoc positions, you should have published at least one paper in the area of quantum computing.
For details of our research, please see our papers on Quantum Networking at:
http://www.cse.wustl.edu/~jain/papers/index.html
Our department gives financial aid to all students admitted for a Ph.D. The selection is quite competitive.
I prefer students with an MS.
In our department, all fresh students are admitted by an admission committee, and then during the first year, students find an advisor with matching interests.
The admission committee decides based on complete information, including your recommendation letters, test scores, our funding situation, and other applicants available. All Ph.D. students are fully funded.
I am not involved in the admissions decisions. Our department chair makes almost all of the decisions. The chair puts a very high emphasis on GRE and TOEFL scores. So remember to take the GRE.
I encourage you to send your completed application as indicated on the department website:
https://engineering.wustl.edu/prospective-students/graduate-admissions/Pages/default.aspx
You should mention my name in the application under the names of professors you are interested in working with and indicate networking as your one area of interest. In the research statement, please mention quantum networking.
All incoming students to my group must know machine learning and networking.
Please feel free to contact our Director of Graduate Admissions, Prof. Kunal Agrawal
kunal@wustl.edu, for any questions you may have regarding the application process.
