Prospective Graduate Students

I am a faculty member in the Dept. of Electrical Engineering at the University of Texas at Dallas. I also advise students in the Computer Engineering program at UTD. My current research interests in healthcare also allow me to advise students in Bioengineering Department at UT Dallas. Some topics may fall in the Computer Science areas and I can advise students in Computer Science. In each case, student must fulfill the requirements associated with the degree that he/she is applying for.

Applications for graduate studies are evaluated by the graduate admissions committee. I do not decide admissions. Based on student's application, academic record, standardized scores, and references, an admission decision is made by the graduate admissions committee. Also, based on a rank ordering, some admitted students may be offered a teaching assistantship.

If a student accepts our offer of admission, he/she spends first two semesters largely in the core and elective course work. Ph. D. students and students interested in an MS with thesis must select an advisor by the end of first year at UTD.

It may not be useful to contact me for financial aid before admission. Everyday, I receive many email messages from students expressing an interest in my research. Some are even wrongly addressed (e.g. Dear Dr. Lee.... when my last name is Bhatia). It is impossible for me to respond to each message.

It may be OK to contact me after admission and I will respond only if the email gives all details including academic rank, university, programming skills, hardware design skills, publications, and work experience.

Best Wishes,

Dinesh Bhatia
