Q.1. I am unable to reach my research advisor (e.g., s/he is away on travel). How can I show that I have his/her approval?
A.1. If you are unable to reach your advisor, you can obtain the signature of any other faculty member in your department. Alternatively, you can provide contact information for your advisor (without his/her signature) for now and submit an updated application with his/her signature sometime before or during the school.
Q.2. Should my research statement focus on my current and past work or future work?
A.2. The brief research statement should cover your research interests and a summary of your current and past work (if any). You may include information about future work if you like. You are not required to have had prior research experience. If you are just starting out on your research, then include a statement of research interests and why you think you are interested in that area.
Q.3. Is it important that I have prior experience in control systems?
A.3. The summer school includes introductory material in control systems; therefore, it is not necessary to have prior experience in control systems. Graduate students enrolled in Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or Computer Science programs will be able to follow the lectures based on undergraduate course work.
Q.4. I have another question about the summer school.
A.4. Please feel free to contact Lori Melchi (lmelchi at iti dot uiuc dot edu) for any other questions you may have.
