Foreign students from outside of campus have two ways to participate - one is by obtaining support from your home institution and simultaneously applying to our program through mathprograms. The other is to apply through one of UCLA's structured programs for foreign nationals such as the CSST program. I am not taking unfunded or self-funded students in my research projects although you are welcome to talk to other UCLA faculty about their own research.
Interested students with possible funding from their home institution should have a faculty member from the home institution contact me directly.
