Open-source code

All of our code is open source. There is a lot more on the lab GitHub and on Tom's GitHub.

Joining the lab

Prospective PhD students
Apply directly to Princeton ECE and mention Tom Silver in your application. There is no need to email ahead of time, although you are welcome to.
Prospective postdocs
We are not actively looking for postdocs right now, but reach out if you are interested.
Current Princeton students
If you are interested in doing research with us, email Tom with your CV, your transcript, and a short note about which part of our work interests you.
Graduate students at other institutions
You may be able to visit us through Princeton’s Visiting Student Research Collaborator program. Reach out if you are interested. We do not do remote internships.
Everyone else
Unfortunately, we cannot work with high school students, undergraduates at other institutions, or people looking for research assistantships, even self-funded ones. We apologize for not responding to emails about these.
