In our program, students are required to enter the laboratory for research work under the guidance of the supervisor during the study period. You have to approach a professor for the research supervision. The topic of the thesis must get the approval of the supervisor. The roles of a thesis advisor include helping students set their thesis topic, providing necessary resources for conducting research and monitoring students’ progress. Therefore, it is important to seek a thesis advisor who can help individual student achieve their goals. Usually, we will encourage students to approach the potential professors after they submit the applications.

Here are some steps you can take to find a suitable advisor:

1. Take a look at the professor's research interests and the lab’s website, or read a few articles published by the professor. 

2. Schedule an individual interview with the professor. You can ask about the ongoing research projects, the expectations in terms of working hours and graduation requirements, and possible topics if you choose to join his/her lab.

3. Talk with current and former students of the lab to understand the working atmosphere from students’ perspective.
