Hi!
I'm a freshman at IIT,Kanpur and wish to intern/work on a research project this summer.I'm a metallurgical engineering major but want to work on something related to computer vision(Real time object modelling,maybe),or swarm robotics,and/or neural networks this summer.I've learned about these things since high school(by learned I mean books,video lectures and lots of IEEE papers).I've read about programs at Carnegie Mellon,Willow garage,etc.How should I go about this?Should I be finding out professors in universities and emailing them?Or should I be searching for programs?Also,what exactly does a professor want to hear to even consider my application for research/internship(whether I should be emailing only people who are involved in such programs)?
thanks
dv

hThe best way to go about finding a research project or internship in the areas you mentioned is to start by doing some research. Look into any programs that may be offered at universities that specialize in these topics, and also look into potential companies or organizations that offer internships or research opportunities. You can also reach out to professors who are involved in research in these areas and inquire about any projects that they may have available. Be sure to provide some background information on your experience and qualifications so they get a sense of your skills and knowledge. Good luck!
