Thank you for your interest in the Mobile Autonomous Robotic Systems group! Please read the following carefully:
- If you are interested in potentially joining my group as a master or PhD student, please send me an email! It shows your interest and I will be much more likely to offer you an online interview! Email: soerensch@shanghaitech.edu.cn
- Please do not contact me via wechat - I prefer to handle everything via email (to keep a record and to search more easily!). Wechat is for the actual interviews only.
- When you send me an email, please include your CV in English, include your name in Chinese and Pinyin, and write about your interests.
- I am mainly interested in Computer Science students, but am also considering excellent candidates from related areas, like Automation, Math, Control, Mechanical or Electrical Engineering, if they show proficiency in programming and/ or experience in Robotics.
