Graduate students

I am continuously looking for highly-motivated graduate students who are interested in trustworthy data science and machine learning. For application process, please check the graduate school's Admission Guidelines for details (informal inquiries are welcome).

For prospective Ph.D. students (3-year course), please get in touch with me before your application to our graduate school. Doctoral students will be provided research assistant opportunities with stipend and supported in applying for JSPS DC fellowship. The students should have a Master's degree and research experience in related fields (PETs, ML, or statistics), since it is challenging to complete a good Ph.D. dissertation in three years without related experience (please apply for Master's course if you do not have relevant skills but would like to do Ph.D. research with me).

For prospective Master's students (2-year course), please contact me in advance before your application about your research interests and plan. Master's students are encouraged to apply for external scholarships. Excellent Master's students will be provided research assistant opportunities.

Note: My lab does not accept applications of "research students" .

International Visiting Scholars

Please check the information for accepting visiting scholars (professors or students). For successful applicants, Tokyo Tech offers visa application assistance and fully-furnished accommodation at a reasonable rate. For outstanding students, financial support is provided. Please note that if you are a student, it's preferred to establish research collaborations prior to your visit. I am also happy to host JSPS International Fellowships. If you are interested, please email me your CV, visiting plan, and the research topics you'd like to collaborate on.
