Dear SIPTA community,

 

I am currently recruiting motivated and enthusiastic PhD students with a strong mathematical, statistical, or computer science background to join my group at the College of Computing & Data Science, Nanyang Technological University (NTU), Singapore. The position starts in January (or August) 2026 and is fully funded.

 

Our research focuses on the foundations of epistemic uncertainty in machine learning. The student will work closely with me on both mathematical theory and practical algorithm development, to build intelligent systems that not only make accurate predictions, but can also recognise their limitations and communicate what they know, and how well they know it, with clarity and confidence.

 

Key topics include: imprecise probability, uncertainty quantification, information theory, ensemble methods, cooperative-game theory, and kernel methods.

 

For more details and application instructions, please visit: https://chau999.github.io/group/.

 

I would be very grateful if you could share this opportunity with any strong candidates or relevant networks. Thank you very much.

 

Best regards,

Siu Lun
