Prospective students

Please email ehinton@unimelb.edu.au if you are interested in undertaking graduate research with me in one of my research interests.

Some possible avenues are:

For undergraduates: SCIE30001 projects and Vacation Scholarships

For MSc students: apply for the Master of Science and then find a supervisor.

For PhD students: scholarships are available for excellent students.

I also have a funded PhD position which is a joint project between IIT Kanpur and Melbourne, co-supervised by myself and Prof. Ishan Sharma (IITK). The candidate will spend time at both institutions and a minimum of 12 months at Melbourne. For further details and to apply, see here.
