Graduate Students:<\/strong> We are always interested in recruiting smart and motivated graduate students. To join our group, you should have a bachelors\/masters degree in computer science\/engineering, and have performed well academically. Further, you should have the following skills:<\/p>\n

1. Good command over the English language (both spoken and written),

\n3. Research experience in the form of internships, research projects and\/or papers in international venues,
\n4. Ability to work independently and be self-driven,
\n5. Some overlap with my research area(s), though this is not crucial.<\/p>\n

If you meet the above criteria, please feel free to send me (Karthik) an email and include your resume\/CV. However, I am unable to respond to general queries about UBC admission processes etc. Please refer to the following web page<\/a>. Note that if I admit you to work with me, I’ll almost always fund you (for both MASc and PhD), unless you receive a fellowship or other means of funding.<\/p>\n

You also need to show that you have read this announcement by including the following words in the subject “Read the announcement on your web page”<\/U>, and showing how you meet the above criteria. I will respond to your email only if you include this line in the subject. <\/B> Thanks for reading till here.<\/p>\n

Interns:<\/strong> I do not typically take on students for research internships from outside Canada, unless you apply via the MITACS Globalink<\/a> programme. Note that MITACS has their own selection process and I don’t have any input into it, so please don’t contact me unless and until you’re matched by them to my group. <\/p>\n

If you’re studying in a Canadian university but not at UBC, and you want to do a research internship in my group, please apply via the NSERC USRA <\/a>programme. Please get in touch with me before applying though. <\/p>\n

Finally, if you’re at UBC, and you’re interested in a research internship with me, please feel free to get in touch with me by sending me your CV, informal transcripts, and short description of your background and interests. Thanks.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
