The top-ranked PhD-program applicants are usually offered a Dean\u2019s Fellowship, Graduate Teaching Fellowship or, in exceptional circumstances, Research Assistantship in the first year of the studies. After the first year, after passing the PhD qualifying exam, most candidates are offered a Research Assistantship from one of ISS faculty. Usually, we do not offer fellowships or assistantships to MS students, but exceptional candidates are considered on a case-by-case basis. For details about the graduate program and admission procedures, please visit the\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.bu.edu\/eng\/departments\/ece\/prospective-graduate-students\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">ECE Graduate Program web site<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Please note that admissions are handled by the\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/ece.bu.edu\/\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">ECE Department<\/a> and the\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.bu.edu\/eng\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">College of Engineering<\/a>, and not by me, and therefore please do not contact me about the application process. If you are an\u00a0<strong>exceptionally strong candidate with an established publications record <\/strong>in my research area, in parallel with the official application to the ECE Department you may send me your CV,\u00a0as this helps in recruiting efforts. However, due to the large volume of email that I receive, I regret that I may not be unable to reply to the vast majority of requests; please do not be offended.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>If you are an\u00a0undergraduate student with strong background in math, probability and signals, and you interested in exploring the world of research in image\/video processing, visual surveillance, camera networks, etc., a limited number of REU (Research Experiences for Undergraduates) scholarships are available on grants I participate in.
