Instructions for applying to our programs can be found at this link.  Please solicit advice and/or guidance for applying from the contacts provided at these links.  They can also communicate about our program, including about funding opportunities.

Thank you for your interest.  We do not have any positions for new PhD students for the 2025-2026 school year.  If you will be a CU Boulder Masters student, then please see the next section for “University of Colorado Boulder Students” on how to join.

Thank you for your interest.  However, I have no available post-doctoral positions at this time.

I am always seeking exceptional students to join my Image and Video Computing (IVC) Group. If you would like to join, please take one of my courses and then I will consider your application after completion of the course. Of note, I only offer paid positions to PhD students.  Non-PhD students are welcome to pursue independent studies or Master’s theses with my group.

Thank you for your interest. However, the answer is no. If you do not get off the waitlist this semester, please note that I plan to teach the course annually so please consider trying to register again next year.

I do not know.  Every year students do drop from the courses I teach during the drop/add period, so seats do open up. Newly-available seats are allocated first to CS majors on the waitlist and then non-CS majors.

Thank you for your interest. If you are a senior citizen or veteran, then you are eligible to audit my course. Otherwise, you must be a degree-seeking student.  In that case, you can enroll in the class for P/F or No Credit.

Possibly; submit this online petition form and then approval will be assessed on a case-to-case basis.

Thank you for your interest.  Yes, I typically hire students each semester I teach.  All hiring of course support is managed through the CS department.  Instructions for applying to open positions are at this link.  After you apply, I will be notified about your application.  Please solicit advice and/or guidance for applying from the contacts provided at these links.  There is no need to contact me, as I will just redirect you to this link.

I appreciate your confidence in my perspective. However, I receive many such requests and responding to them all for free would compromise my ability to support the many students in my Image and Video Computing group (i.e., typically 10-15 students) and taking my courses (i.e., typically greater than 100 per year). If you are a student committed to getting my perspective and/or conducting research with me, I recommend taking one of my courses or applying to our PhD program. Otherwise, the best way to get advice is by either providing funding to our research group or requesting consulting services (from myself or my students). I wish you all the best with your research endeavors.

Thank you for your interest. However, the answer is no.  If you wish to join my group, then the first step is to apply to join CU Boulder as a student. More information about how to apply can be found above.

Thank you for your interest.  I would recommend taking courses on computer vision, machine learning (especially deep learning), and crowdsourcing.  Beyond that, please review publications from our group to learn about what we have been exploring.

Thank you for your interest.  I only provide summer research positions to students who are already members of my research group.
