We welcome students and researchers from all backgrounds — Physics, Chemistry, Biology, Mathematics, Computer Science, and beyond. Creativity, curiosity, and the drive to push boundaries matter far more than any specific prior training. You should be genuinely excited about science and willing to work closely with a wide range of computational tools and AI methods, and approach problems with an open mind.

Prospective PhD students should apply through the ISU graduate admissions portal and mention the Potoyan group in their statement.

Postdocs, PhD applicants, and undergraduates are all welcome to reach out directly at potoyan [AT] iastate [dot] edu.
