I no more recruit at SUSTech. We have multiple positions available at the levels of Postdoctoral Fellows, PhD students, and visiting scholars (for a period of at least 6 months) at Lingnan University (Hong Kong SAR) in the following areas.

If you are interested, please send me your detailed CV.

If you are interested in doing a PhD with me at Lingnan University (Hong Kong SAR), there are two ways (scholarships). Note that the application submission deadline is 1 December 2024 for Hong Kong PhD Fellowship Scheme and 17 January 2025 for admission to MPhil/PhD programmes directly.

* If you are interested in working on AI in games, please take a look at our survey ``Deep Learning for Procedural Content Generation'' and the Game AI book before contacting me.
