Prospective Students

We are always looking for highly motivated students interested in robotics, control theory, machine learning, and human-robot interaction. If you are interested in joining our lab:

• Postdoctoral researchers: Candidates with a background in robotics, control, or machine learning may join through fellowships such as the C V Raman Post-Doctoral, National Post-Doctoral, or DS Kothari fellowships. Please write to hiro.cps.iisc@gmail.com, cc'ing Prof. Ravi Prakash with your CV and research interests.
• PhD / MTech(R) applicants: Apply to the Department of Cyber-Physical Systems through the IISc admissions portal. Applications are typically open in March–April and September–October. Please write to hiro.cps.iisc@gmail.com, cc'ing Prof. Ravi Prakash with your CV and research interests.
• Master's students (IISc): If you want to pursue your master's project with HiRo Lab, visit Prof. Ravi Prakash at his office or write to him.
• Research staff and UG interns: Please email hiro.cps.iisc@gmail.com with your interests and CV. UG students are also encouraged to apply through programs such as the INSA Summer Research Fellowship, which are usually announced in October–November. For UG interns, a minimum of 2 months must be spent here at the lab to receive an internship certificate, and most internships are self-funded.

When writing to HiRo Lab, please include a short note on your background, why HiRo lab interests you (a specific project or research direction), the skills you would bring, and your CV.

Note: We receive a large number of applications. If you do not hear back within a week, please send a gentle reminder. If you still do not receive a response after that, your application has been reviewed but is not a fit for our current openings.
