Note for
prospective and current students
Research
at the excellence level of The University of Texas at Austin is highly
competitive. For this reason research support is limited, and granted
and maintained on a merit-based system. So here there are some comments
for both prospective and current students about my research group:
Prospective students:
I typically receive a few email messages a day from students around the
world asking for positions availability. The few messages a day add up
to several hundred a year. Unfortunately, I am not able to answer all
of these messages so I only answer the ones that show something
significantly distinctive. Thus, my advice when writing a message is to
clearly emphasize which specific aspect of my research you are
interested in, and what are your top 3 facts relevant to conducting
research with me. Reading other authors papers and my publications may
help you understand whether or not my research will match your
interests. If you are interested in my research, please submit your
application to The University of Texas at Austin. In addition, I very
rarely provide support to students until I have evaluated their
potential and skill while working with me for at least one semester.
I am
currently
seeking students with background in power electronics and power
systems, and with strong and verifiable math knowledge, particularly in
statistical and probabilistic analysis.
Current students:
You
need to consider that working as a TA or RA is like any other job, and
that job has duties to fulfill. Students are expected to conduct
research in either of the two positions. At the beginning of the
semester, I meet with all students working with me and we fill out a
form in which a schedule with short term and long term goals is set. At
every milestone I will evaluate the student performance. In addition to
funds availability, maintaining or obtaining financial support will
highly depend on whether or not the student is able to meet his/her
goals and the quality of his/her work. In addition, the student is
expected to maintain a good standing in his/her coursework and to
advance in his/her studies.
