We welcome applicants from all backgrounds and stages of their careers. The sections below describe how to get in touch, depending on where you are coming from.
Please complete
this form and email
Prof. Kuan Fang with your CV and a short note about your background, research interests, and plans.
We admit new PhD students in every application cycle. Please apply to the
CS PhD Program and/or the
Robotics PhD Program; you are welcome to apply to both. Be sure to mention
Prof. Kuan Fang in the application system and in your statement of purpose so that your application reaches us. Every application submitted by the deadline is read carefully by the admissions committee, and no prior contact is needed for it to be considered.
If you are an
incoming or
current Cornell PhD or MS student and would like to work together, please email
Prof. Kuan Fang with a short description of your background and interests.
We welcome undergraduate and MS researchers at every class level. Experience in a related area such as AI, robotics, machine learning, or computer vision is helpful, though it is not a requirement, and we are glad to work with students who are just getting started. If you are interested, please complete
this form (which requires a Cornell login) and email
Prof. Kuan Fang with your resume and an unofficial transcript. We usually meet with new undergraduate and MS students at the beginning of each semester, and periodically throughout the rest of the year.
If you are not currently at Cornell and would like to visit for a period of time, please complete
this form and email
Prof. Kuan Fang. Please note that international students and scholars generally need an appropriate visa, such as a J-1 or F-1, to conduct research in the United States. The Cornell
Office of Global Learning can advise on
visa support and eligibility in certain cases.
Cornell CS runs a number of
outreach programs for high school students who are curious about computing and robotics. We would encourage you to explore those opportunities as a first step, and we hope to see you back here later in your studies.
Every inquiry we receive is given careful consideration. Because of the volume of email, replies can take some time, and we are not always able to respond to each one individually. Thank you for your patience.
