[visionlist] Doctoral studies in Vision at NYU

[Eero Simoncelli]

New York University is home to a thriving interdisciplinary community of researchers in the Visual Sciences.
A listing of faculty, sorted by their primary departmental affiliation, is given below.  PhD programs are
flexible, allowing students to pursue research across departmental boundaries. Nevertheless, admissions are
handled separately by each department, and students interested in pursuing graduate studies should submit an
application to the program that best fits their goals and interests.
