Ph.D. student positions
Intelligent Systems Engineering (ISE), Indiana University, Bloomington, IN, USA

Dr. Ariful Azad is an Assistant Professor in the School of Informatics, Computing and Engineering at Indiana University, Bloomington. He is inviting Ph.D. applications for Spring 2019 and Fall 2019 to work in his research group (https://hipgraph.sice.indiana.edu/). He is looking for motivated Ph.D. students working on high-performance graph analysis, sparse matrix and machine learning algorithms, with applications to computational biology and scientific computing. If interested to join his group, please contact him at azad@iu.edu.

A student’s research will be interdisciplinary in nature and will advance computer science as well as another scientific domain. Students will have access to state-of-the-art computing facilities including several supercomputers and will work in collaboration with domain scientists. A snapshot of our work is captured in this paper “HipMCL: a high-performance parallel implementation of the Markov clustering algorithm for large-scale networks”, published in Nucleic Acids Research, 2018, where we solved an important biology problem with innovative parallel algorithms using 130 thousand processor cores (about half a million threads).
 
Requirements:
   -  Excellent programming and problem analysis skills  
   -  Expertise in C, C++, and/or Python languages
   -  Some knowledge in parallel programming (shared and/or distributed memory systems)
   -  Most importantly, passionate about research and solving challenging problems
        
How to apply: 
If you are interested, please send your resume and academic transcript to azad@iu.edu
Applications will be considered for Spring 19 and Fall 19.
