Openings
(last updated
on Apr 2024)

We have a few open positions for graduate students for the upcoming terms; candidates are expected to have strong computational and mathematical skills. We also have internship positions for those who are enrolled as a POSTECH undergrad and/or have top grades.

We have various projects on optimization and its applications in machine learning. In particular, we are currently looking for students (including interns) to work on the following subjects: (1) optimization theory and algorithms in large-scale settings including decentralized optimization; (2) topics on large language models including their training, fine-tuning, compression, and multi-modality; (3) model optimization on commodity hardware; (4) interpretability of deep networks; and many more.
