Students from many areas of science and engineering worked in our group and we plan to continue to work with such diverse variety of students in future as well. Students can be a part of our existing research projects or they can also work on their own projects. Average time required for Ph.D. is approx. four years so far and in future we expect to reduce it to three years.
