PhD Applicants


We are not hiring PhD students at this moment.


Princeton Undergraduates


We are on the lookout for undergraduates to join us to do research at HAM starting Summer/Fall 2026. Please do the following:

We review applications in batches every first week of the month, and we will reach out to you directly.


MSE Applicants


Princeton’s CS MSE program is highly competitive and offers full financial support through Teaching Assistantships (see up-to-date information here).

The admission process is centralized at the department level, and decisions are not made by individual faculty. However, if you’re hoping to do research with me as part of your thesis requirement, you’re welcome to mention my name in your statement; no need to email me.

If you are already in the program, shoot Manoel an email!


High School Students


Unfortunately, we don’t currently have any positions for high school students. If you email Manoel, please know that you will not receive a reply. This is not a reflection of your abilities – we simply don’t have the capacity to respond to the volume of requests.


Visiting PhD Students


If you have funding for a summer visit, we can spend a few months doing research through Princeton’s VSRC Program. Please do the following:

We review applications in batches every first week of the month, and we will reach out to you directly.
