Prospective research students – please read this before contacting me

• Emails from enquirers who clearly have little idea of what research I am involved in, or obviously haven't taken account of the advice below, run the risk of being indistinguishable from spam and will not be responded to.
• I do not take on international student interns. Rather than respond to each such request personally in the negative, this is a blanket statement that I can't help you out, and wish you the best with your search.
• Requests for PhD supervision in areas not close to my research interests demonstrate that you haven't done your homework in checking my web page and spotting this statement, in which case, don't expect to get any response from me.
  
• Email from enquirers with a strong background in artificial intelligence may be responded to, but I am currently only active in co-supervision and not taking on new primary supervisions.
• Funding –  Information about the PhD application processes and scholarships for the University of Melbourne is here - note that to be competitive applicants need a score in the mid 80's or GPA equivalent
