David Kempe's Students

If you are interested in working with me as a Ph.D. student, feel free to contact me directly. You are more likely to receive a response if your e-mail contains specifics about how our research interests overlap.
I currently do not have funding for Postdocs. If you come with your own funding, or have applied through the Viterbi Postdoc program, feel free to contact me. Again, if I don't know you already, please be specific about how our research interests overlap.
I rarely will offer summer internships to students I don't already know ahead of time.
If you are a USC undergraduate student interested in theory work (or research more generally), feel free to e-mail me.
If you are an MS student at USC looking for a DR, you should have taken CSCI670 or a more advanced algorithms class with a grade of A before contacting me. If you have only taken CSCI570, I will need a glowing recommendation from your instructor to consider you.
Any e-mail that looks like a mass mailing will be ignored.
