I am looking for students (PhD, Masters, undergrads, interns) who are passionate about research, interested in data mining, machine learning and human-computer interaction research, and strong in programming and/or math. You will be mainly working on data mining and machine learning in real-world applications, especially on reinforcement learning, urban computing and human-in the loop machine learning. Master's and undergraduate students within NJIT and self-funded visiting students/scholars are also welcome to apply.

If you are interested in working with me, please feel free to contact me at: hua [dot] wei [at] njit [dot] edu
