Internships

There are several options to do an internship with me, described below. If you are eligible for one of these options, are an excellent student, and have a genuine interest in one of my research topics, feel free to contact me with a CV, your university transcripts, and a proposed research topic.

Undergraduate students enrolled at Australian universities or the University of Auckland (New Zealand) can apply for Taste of Research scholarships.

Domestic and international undergraduate and postgraduate students from partner universities can apply for the Practicum exchange program.

NICTA offers summer scholar projects for undergraduate students and internships for both undergraduate and postgraduate students.

Honours students

UNSW students that are enrolled (or would like to enrol) in the Computer Science (Honours) program at UNSW can see my proposed Honours thesis topics in the CSE Thesis Topics Database. Feel free to propose your own topic if it is related to my research.

PhD students

If you would like to pursue a PhD under my guidance, please read the following.

To enrol in the PhD program in computer science at UNSW, you are expected to have a degree that is equivalent to a First Class Honours degree from UNSW in computer science, mathematics, or a related field.

Please send me a CV, recent transcripts, and names and email addresses of 1-2 references. Please also indicate your area of research interest and whether you have any external funding for covering the UNSW tuition fee (for international students) and living costs. I will consult with our research office and let you know whether you are deemed competitive for UNSW scholarship applications.

Postgraduate Research Scholarships at UNSW open twice per year. International students should apply for International Research Candidate Scholarships, and domestic students for Domestic Research Candidate Scholarships. Additionally, it might be possible to apply for NICTA scholarships. All scholarship applicants need to prepare a research proposal in consultation with the prospective supervisor (around 500 words). The selection also usually takes into account your grades (mainly for the last 2 years of study), the ranking of your previous university, and your publications (if any).

Postdocs
