How to enquire

Write to Dr Siddharth Panwar with a short introduction, CV, relevant transcripts or portfolio, and the NSSIL research area that interests you.

Email the lab

Before writing

Start with research fit

Read the lab’s research and recent publications before contacting us. A concise note that connects your interests and experience to a specific problem is more useful than a general request for any available position.

Application material

What to include

Include a current CV, academic background, relevant project or publication links, and a brief explanation of the problem you would like to work on. For PhD enquiries, a one-page research statement is helpful.
