Notes for Potential PhD Students and Visiting Scholars: 

(1)  PhD scholarship is rarely available. Among the current PhD students in my group, only one is on scholarship and all others are self-financed.

(2)  Self-funded Visiting Scholars (including visiting PhD students under CSC scheme) are welcome. However, I have been approached by so many applicants that I have no choice but turn down many of them.

(3)  If you would like to make an inquiry, please send an email to mwzhou@ntu.edu.sg with your CV. I usually give a reply within a few days. Alternatively, you may call me using my office number or via Wechat (ID: weizhou91169706).
