PhD Application Resources

Here are some resources I’ve found helpful, both for applying to graduate programs and for surviving/thriving once you start:

• Some modest advice for graduate students
• Velocity in research
• Previous NSF GRFP winning examples
• Negotiating graduate financial aid

Machine Learning Resources

Here are some websites that may be helpful for self-teaching.

• R2D3’s A Visual Introduction to Machine Learning
• Victor Zhou’s post on Intro to Neural Networks (with code)
• Chris Olah’s post on Neural Nets, Manifolds, and Topology
