Joining the Group

If you are interested in working with me as a researcher, there are a few ways to get involved:

• If you are interested in pursuing a PhD, I am recruiting PhD students through the JHU CS PhD program. To ensure I see your application, list my name as a faculty you are interested in working with on the application form. I generally do not meet with students prior to the admission process, and it is not necessary to email me in advance before you apply: After reading your application, if I think there is a potentially good fit, I will reach out to schedule an interview.
• If you are interested in working with me as a postdoctoral researcher, you can do so through the Malone Center for Engineering in Healthcare Postdoctoral Fellows Program, or the Data Science and AI Institute Postdoctoral Fellowship Program.
• If you are currently at Johns Hopkins (e.g., as an undergraduate or master’s student), feel free to email me directly at moberst@jhu.edu with subject line “Current JHU student interested in working with you”.

Please note that I, like many other faculty members, receive an extremely high volume of emails from interested applicants and others seeking research experience (e.g., as an undergraduate from another institution, high school student, etc). Please note that I generally do not work with undergraduates from other institutions, or high-school students, at this time and I am unlikely to respond to unsolicited requests for research internships if we do not have a prior connection.
