Opportunities

I am currently recruiting motivated PhD students to join my research group at UTRGV. The ideal candidate is intellectually curious and self-driven, with a strong interest in abstract theoretical models of computation. A background in algorithms, discrete mathematics, and formal proofs is preferred but not strictly required.
