Registration closes *December 10.* -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Pre-doctoral Research Workshop Department of Computer Science, Ashoka University The Pre-doctoral Research Workshop offers aspiring doctoral candidates an immersive experience into the world of interdisciplinary computer science research at Ashoka University. Our department's research spans foundational areas such as algorithms, cryptography, data science, logic and automated reasoning, natural language processing, and machine learning, while also extending beyond traditional boundaries into computational social sciences, digital health, digitalization, privacy, and technology policy. Final year undergraduate and masters students with mathematical and computational backgrounds are invited to apply to this workshop and learn from and engage with leading researchers, network with peers who share their academic interests, and gain insights into doctoral studies and graduate school preparation. The workshop participants are strongly encouraged to also participate in the poster session and present their original work (published, under submission, or ongoing). Taking place from January 9th to 11th, 2025, at Ashoka University, Sonipat, Haryana, this year's workshop will focus on how computer science intersects with diverse disciplines—from natural sciences to social sciences. Through our PhD and integrated PhD programs, we welcome students from all relevant academic backgrounds, including non-CS disciplines, recognizing that diverse perspectives drive innovation in computer science research. Join us to explore these possibilities and discover your path toward pursuing a PhD in Computer Science.
