It was such an honor to lead this amazing team. A lot of hard work but we never stopped having fun! Now you can be part of the fun too! @nsf EnCORE Institute @EnCOREInstitut will be hosting a series of workshops along with new postdoc and visiting scholar programs. Stay tuned!

Happening tomorrow. The zoom link to join is in the flyer. @HDSIUCSD @UCSDJacobs @UCSD

Looking forward to see many of you at Sydney in December. The workshop is co-organized by us (TCS for All) with the awesome theory group at the University of Sydney.

We have two postdocs positions open at the @EnCOREInstitut. All areas of Theoretical Computer Science and Foundations of AI are of interest. @UCSDJacobs @UCSanDiego @HDSIUCSD

In the U.S., calling a professor by their first name is often acceptable. However, it is inappropriate to address a male professor as "Prof." while addressing a female professor by her first name in an email. Hide your inner biases.

If there is a dataset of n samples labeled by some function from a structured class, you need to know only few labels *from that dataset* to infer the labels of rest of the data points. This is active learning++ with Hadley Black @kasperglarsen @B1ar2n3a and @GeelonSo

Prediction: In ~3 years academia will be the most desirable place to do fundamental AI research Contributing factors: - small models improve/become significantly more impactful - open weights community broadens its reach - gpus continue to get faster & cheaper - meaningful

Excited to share that I will be starting as an Assistant Professor in CSE at UCSD (@ucsd_cse) in Fall 2026! I am currently recruiting PhD students who want to bridge theory and practice in deep learning - see here:

Happening next week at the EnCORE Institute. You can still register to listen to talks.

With the happy bunch during the @EnCOREInstitut Collaboration Workshop. It was a great opportunity for the students and postdocs to hone their presentation skills.

The SODA’26 Author Rebuttal Phase is beginning soon on next Monday, September 8th. We have received the largest number of submissions in the history of SODA with almost a 25% jump from the previous year. The PC members are working hard to get the reviews in. Extremely high

Seems like the UCSD Computer Science keeps climbing in https://t.co/boh7CpaKHn and now is in 2nd place. Soon there won’t be any more places left to climb. @UCSDJacobs @HDSIUCSD @UCSD

FOCS 2025 will have a childcare option for conference attendees. The link is here. https://t.co/5FBRmW7HQr

Celebrations of TCS at FOCS is jointly being organized with TCS for All. If you have a stellar graduate student or postdoc in the job market this year with research related to TCS, you can still nominate them for the Rising Star ⭐️ workshop. https://t.co/FM9eGncFos

I will be teaching a course on Modern Algorithms next quarter. Suggest what should I cover in the course.

Thank you for taking action on it.

My longtime collaborator Dave Patterson (long-time faculty at @UCBerkeley, @TheOfficialACM Turing Award winner, and fellow @LaudeInstitute board member) wrote a very good op-ed about how continued investing in basic science and technology research is essential for the U.S. Dave
