Thank you for your interest in the AquaLab research group!

While we cannot respond to every message we receive from prospective students, we most likely have positions available. If you are serious about working with us, please fill the following questionnaire. An impressive set of answers here is much more likely to result in a response and a virtual meeting to discuss your prospects for joining our group than almost all other forms of contact.

If you are interested in pursuing graduate studies in computer systems at Northwestern, please apply to our Ph.D. program at https://www.mccormick.northwestern.edu/computer-science/academics/graduate/admissions/.

Beyond Northwestern, you may want to take advantage of the NU PhD Feedback Application Program (https://forms.gle/SaMEWnm3TFYATHv4A).
