Prospective Postdoctoral Scholars
I am not currently recruiting postdoctoral scholars.
Current Stanford MS and PhD students
I may have open rotation projects for current Stanford PhD students next academic year (Fall 2025+) who have prior research experience in either (1) statistical learning or algorithmic fairness or (2) microsimulation modeling. My priority is to recruit PhD students who are interested in working on projects in causal ML and double robust estimation or developing statistical guarantees for AI/ML. Please feel free to email me.
Stanford Dissertation Committees
Feel free to contact me regarding joining your dissertation committee or serving as the external defense examiner. Please include a one-page summary of your research and note the members already on your committee so I can assess whether my expertise will be beneficial to you. If helpful to know as you are constituting your committee to meet Stanford’s requirements, I am a member of Academic Council.
Undergraduate and Community College Students
Current Stanford undergraduates are welcome to contact me regarding potential thesis projects. Please include a one-page summary of your planned research.
I am not able to mentor college students at outside institutions other than through existing formal Stanford programs.
High School Students
I am not able to mentor high school students at this time.
Prospective Stanford PhD Applicants
Out of fairness to all potential applicants, I do not meet with prospective PhD students prior to the interview round of our admissions processes at Stanford. I am also not able to provide any assessment of your likelihood of being admitted. There is substantial information online about the PhD programs where I advise students. This includes PhD programs in Computer Science, Biomedical Data Science, and Health Policy (with a Health Policy FAQ page here). Admission to these PhD programs is by committee and students are not admitted directly into faculty labs, so applicants do not need to meet with individual faculty prior to application.
Visiting Graduate Students & Graduate Students not at Stanford
Given my advising responsibilities at Stanford and the practical considerations involved (e.g., data access restrictions), I am not able to host visiting graduate students at Stanford or serve as a research advisor for students at other universities at this time.
