General application process for prospective HDR students

I am looking for highly motivated PhD students with excellent academic record, promising research potential, and strong mathematical, analytical and communication skills. As a guide, students in top 5% of their cohort are deemed competitive. My research areas are specified in my Research page and the list of my publications guides the expected calibre of prospective research students.

I started a new position as Professor of Electrical Engineering at School of Engineering and Information Technology, UNSW, Canberra. If you are confident you meet the criteria and have mutual research interests, please contact me via email and include your detailed CV, transcripts (official or unofficial), and a brief statement of research. My New email address is p dot lastname at unsw dot edu dot au.
