Contact Dr. Chen
chen.chen@ucf.eduSuggested subject: Prospective Ph.D. Student - Your Name
- Your CV and intended starting term.
- A short description of your research interests and how they connect to specific work from our group.
- Links to relevant papers, code, or projects, with a brief explanation of your own contributions.
A concise, specific introduction is more helpful than a generic email. Due to the volume of inquiries, an individual response may not always be possible.
Apply Through UCF
A research inquiry does not replace a formal university application. Check the current requirements, deadlines, supporting materials, and any testing requirements for your intended program through the UCF College of Graduate Studies. Admission and funding are determined through the formal university and program processes.
Current UCF students, visiting researchers, and prospective collaborators may also contact Dr. Chen with their background, interests, and proposed timeline. Availability depends on research alignment and supervision capacity.
