Lab. & Advisor Assignments
In order to apply to the Ph.D. (or Master’s/Ph.D. combined) program, you are required to have an advisor in the EE department at the time of application. Please contact your potential advisor (by exchanging emails, etc.) and determine your advisor before applying to our program.
For Master’s degree program, you are not required to have an advisor at the time of application, but we highly recommend you to determine your advisor before application. You can still find (or even change) your advisor on a “Happy Marriage” basis even after admission, but statistics shows that a few students have difficulty in finding advisors during a semester.
