Our group is seeking PhD students, Postdoc, and Visiting Scholars on theoretical and algorithmic distributed optimization for machine learning, control, and signal processing. The scope is broad, and candidates with training or interest in optimization theory, network science, control theory, and computational optimal transport are welcomed to apply.
Post Doctoral Scholar
This is a one-year position, with possible extension to two-years. Starting date is as early as January 2021. I’m looking for independent researchers able to lead new ideas into research projects. I value strong collaborations with other groups and universities. Please email me with your interest and CV.
Rice has a postdoc fellowship program for highly competitive applicants which offer substantial independence. The Rice Academy of Fellows provides competitive salary for 2 years for a cohort of postdoctoral scholars in departments across campus. Applications are due early January, with a starting date of Fall 2021. If you are interested in applying to The Rice Academy of Fellows please email me at most by the end of November.
PhD Students

If you are interested in working with me please mention my name in your application. Also, let me know you are applying by December 1st, that way we can talk about research projects and interests. Also, I can guide your application process.
Visit my Research page to learn more about the topics I’m currently working on.
Visiting Scholars/Students
Short term visits (2-3 months) of undergraduate, master, PhD students or postdocs from other institutions. These visits are project based, and some preparation of at least 4 months before the expected starting date is required.
I expect to receive 2 visiting students in Summer/Fall 2021.
Given current circumstances, I could potentially offer virtual visits, where we work on some joint project. However, funding is more limited in this variant.
Rice Undergraduate Students
If you are currently an undergraduate student at Rice, please do not hesitate in contacting me for research opportunities. I’m always happy to provide undergraduate research experiences.
