Prospective Students

If you are a student at the University of Edinburgh and would like to meet---please send me an email at david.abel@ed.ac.uk. Please note that during the Winter 2025 semester, I am likely unable to take on long-term supervision.

Otherwise: In the coming years, I will be looking to recruit a small number of PhD students at the University of Edinburgh. Stay tuned! More information about the program and funding sources is available here, as well as two relevant CDTs: ML Systems, Robotics.

Letters of Recommendation

• Advance notice: Please ask me for a letter at least one month before the first deadline you would like me to meet (in exceptional cases, I may be able to write a letter on short notice).
• An up to date CV.
• A reminder one week before the deadline (if I have not confirmed that I've already submitted the letter).
