Doctoral Admissions

How do you assess PhD applications?

Our evaluation of new applications is grounded in three key criteria:

1. Academic Excellence: Applicants must possess a degree with distinction in an engineering discipline.
2. Research Interests Compatibility: Your research interests should closely match our current research focus and priorities.
3. Innovation: You should be able to demonstrate your potential to contribute to the field of SNN and its applications.

What are your current research priority areas?

A non-exhaustive list of topics that we are currently interested in is as follows:

1. Spiking neural networks and their applications
2. Spike Camera and its downstream applications
3. Brain-inspired computing and its scientific potential

Our list of recent papers might provide you with further ideas regarding potential research topics that are currently of interest to our group.

Where to check your admission files and policy?

Please refer to the admission policy for more information.

When should I submit my application?

Due to the limited number of PhD positions available in our group each year, we strongly encourage potential applicants to submit their applications as early as possible.

Additionally, if you wish to be considered for any internal scholarships, please consult the relevant pages for specific deadlines that may apply.

How should I structure my research statement?

Should you decide to proceed with an application, please make sure that you include a personal statement that is 2-3 pages long and follows the structure below:

• A summary of the research topics that excite you.
• A section on your thoughts on how you endeavour to fill existing gaps in knowledge.
• Overview of your academic background, highlighting previous GPAs, awards, and graduation rank.
• Summary of any prior research outputs (i.e. dissertations, research placements).
• Brief literature survey that covers recent developments in your area of interest.

Postdoctoral Opportunities

We highly recommend you to contact our director Prof Tiejun Huang and Prof Zhaofei Yu for more information.

Summer Camp

We welcome applications for summer internships from Peking University students currently studying towards an undergraduate mathematics, engineering, automation, or computer science degree. But welcome everyone to contact us for sharing your science congition.
