Connectionists: Two Fully Funded PhD Positions in Computer Science at UMD

[Can Firtina]

Dear All,

Please feel free to share the information below with candidates who may be interested:

I will be recruiting 2 PhD students to join my new research group in the Department of Computer Science at the University of Maryland, College Park (UMD).

We explore many exciting directions related to designing algorithms, AI, and hardware for bioinformatics, such as:
+ Multimodal systems for biological data (e.g., electrical signals, basecalled sequences, spatial/image data)
+ Hardware–algorithm–software co-design for portable, real-time omics analysis
+ Algorithms and AI to enable fundamentally new directions in bioinformatics

If you are deeply interested in building algorithms and computing systems that make biological data analysis fast, accurate, and energy-efficient with high impact in medicine and health, please consider applying.

To learn more about our research, please visit my website at https://www.cs.umd.edu/~firtina/. You can use the Google Forms link on my website to upload your application documents.

UMD CS PhD application deadline: December 5, 2025. If you are interested in working with me, please mention my name in your application materials.

Thanks,
Can
