Prospective Undergraduate Students

We are always interested in hosting undergraduate summer research internships or having motivated UofA undergraduate students join the lab during the academic year (which is preferable since this gives you enough time to participate in a more complete project). Send your email to $ \textsf{xiaoqi.tan@ualberta.ca} $ if you are interested.

Prospective Graduate Students

We are constantly looking for highly motivated graduate students at both the MSc and PhD level. If you are already at UofA and want to join us, feel free to email your CV to $ \textsf{xiaoqi.tan@ualberta.ca} $. For prospective students who are not currently enrolled at UofA, read Xiaoqi’s Letter to Prospective Students first before reaching out.

Prospective Postdoctoral Research Fellows

We are interested in hosting postdocs in a variety of areas related to optimization, machine learning, and algorithmic game theory, including, but not limited to: i) online optimization, ii) online and multi-agent learning, and iii) mechanism design; auctions. If you are interested in joining the lab as a postdoc, please send your CV to $ \textsf{xiaoqi.tan@ualberta.ca} $. We might approach you if there is a match in background and research interests (subject to funding availability).

Prospective Visiting Researchers

We welcome visitors from a range of disciplines such as computer science, applied mathematics, statistics, electrical engineering, operations research, and economics. If you believe we share some common research interest and want to visit the lab, feel free to reach out.
