I am currently recruiting a fully funded PhD student to join my lab at McMaster University, with a start date in September 2025. My team works on exciting topics in custom computer architecture, hardware acceleration, and reconfigurable computing, with applications in machine learning and neurotechnology. We prototype our innovations on reconfigurable devices and fabricate silicon microchips.

I am seeking creative and motivated students with an outstanding academic record and strong skills in computer architecture and digital hardware design. While having a master's degree is highly advantageous, exceptional candidates without one will still be considered, particularly for our direct PhD program. Industrial experience and publications are a plus.

Interested candidates should send their CV, transcripts, and examples of scholarly writing (such as publications, abstracts, paper drafts, or graduation projects) to my email: ameer[at]mcmaster[dot]ca prior to submitting their formal application to accelerate the selection process. Applications will be reviewed once they are received, on an ongoing basis, until the position is filled.

Please forward this post to prospective candidates who might be interested.
