Openings (Spring/Fall 2027)

I am always looking for self-motivated interns (remote is okay)/undergraduate/master/Ph.D. starting in the Fall, Summer, and Spring of each Calendar year, as well as visiting scholars to join my team. Candidates are expected to have backgrounds in one or more of the following areas: very large-scale integrated circuit (VLSI) design, computer architecture, machine learning, quantum physics/computing, information theory, and signal processing. Ph.D. candidates who have physical layout design (even better with tape-out) experience in VLSI and want to continue the research in VLSI design and computer architecture are especially encouraged to apply for the position and will be given a high priority for an interview. I am a big fan of interdisciplinary research. Therefore, excellent candidates not in these fields are also encouraged to contact me if you are interested in exploring new areas beyond your current experiences. If you are in the US, the starting date could be even more flexible, and very welcome to visit my lab for more details.

If you are interested in working with me and you are confident about your experiences/skills in the above fields, please email your applications to (weidong.cao AT gwu.edu) by including several key points as shown below:

1. CV and a list that includes the grades of core courses in your major;

2. The detailed experiences/skills that you have. Particularly, what are your proficiencies in these experiences/skills (using 1-5 to rank them, with 5 being the highest one and 1 being the lowest one)?

3. Why are you interested in working with me? You could specify them with several points.

4. When do you want to start your Ph.D./master/intern projects here? For non-Ph.D. candidates, please estimate how much time you can commit to the projects.

I often reply to the email within one week if you follow the above tips in your inquiry.
