Fall 2021入学目前仍有空位、须尽快申请。Spring 2022入学可在九月份左右申请。

I’m actively recruiting students excited about working at the intersection of Human-Computer Interaction (HCI), End-User Software Engineering, Machine Learning (ML), and Natural Language Processing (NLP) to join me in addressing the societal challenges in the future of work through a bottom-up human-AI collaborative approach that helps individual workers automate and augment their tasks with AI systems.

Prospective Ph.D. Students
I have several Ph.D. positions in Computer Science at the University of Notre Dame starting Fall 2021 or Spring 2022. Strong candidates should have be self-motivated, passionate about research, interested in the human aspects of AI (in addition to the technical aspects), and have strong programming skills. Ph.D. students at Notre Dame are typically fully funded with full tuition, health insurance, travel funding opportunities, and a generous stipend. You may learn more about the program here.

Candidates with ANY of the following qualifications would be particularly encouraged: (1) prior experience in designing, implementing, and studying interactive systems; (2) knowledge in machine learning and natural language processing; (3) skills in developing AR/VR applications; (3) prior experience in software engineering (SE) or programming language (PL) research; (4) interdisciplinary research backgrounds (design, psychology, social science etc.)

Interested individuals may contact me with the following information: (1) your CV; (2) a copy of your transcripts; (3) a brief description of your background and research interests; and (4) representative publications or writing samples (course papers are okay) if available. The subject of the email should start with “[PROSPECTIVE-PHD]”. I will reach out if your background seems like a potential good fit.

Visiting Students and Scholars
I might be able to host visiting students (undergraduate or graduate) and scholars at times depending on research interests, project needs, and funding situations.

Interested individuals may contact me with the following information: (1) your CV; (2) a copy of your transcripts (if student); (3) a brief description of your background and research interests; and (4) representative publications or writing samples (course papers are okay) if available. The subject of the email should start with “[PROSPECTIVE-VISITOR]”. I will reach out if your background seems like a potential good fit.

导师介绍：
Toby Jia-Jun Li is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Computer Science and Engineering at the University of Notre Dame. Toby received a Ph.D. degree in Human-Computer Interaction at Carnegie Mellon University, where he was advised by Brad A. Myers. Toby also worked closely with Tom M. Mitchell. Prior to Ph.D., Toby received his Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science from the University of Minnesota where he worked with Brent Hecht as a member of GroupLens Research.

Toby works at the intersection of Human-Computer Interaction (HCI), End-User Software Engineering, Machine Learning (ML), and Natural Language Processing (NLP) applications, where he uses human-centered methods to design, build, and study interactive systems to empower individuals to create, configure, and extend AI-powered computing systems. His recent work seeks to address the societal challenges in the future of work through a bottom-up human-AI collaborative approach that helps individual workers automate and augment their tasks with AI systems.

Toby publishes at premier academic venues across HCI, NLP, and systems (e.g., CHI, UIST, CSCW, ACL, MobiSys, VL/HCC), including 4 award-winning papers: a best paper honorable mention paper at CHI ‘21, a best paper at UIST ‘20, a best paper at IS-EUD ‘17, and a best paper honorable mention paper at CHI ‘17.
