Information for All Prospective Students
We receive many emails about joining the Dynamic Mobility Lab. While we read all messages, we may not be able to respond to everyone individually. Please understand that a lack of response does not reflect on you or your qualifications.
For guidance on when to email professors directly, see this helpful FAQ by Yonatan Bisk.
Prospective Ph.D. Students
We recruit highly motivated Ph.D. students each year (dependent on funding). Apply through the Georgia Tech admissions portal. To ensure Dr. Tucker sees your application, we strongly recommend applying to the ECE, ME, or Robotics PhD program (with ECE or ME as the home unit) and listing Dr. Tucker as a faculty of interest.
You may email mtucker@gatech.edu to express your intent to apply. If you do, please include:
- A brief statement on your research interests and how your experience supports them
- Your CV/resume
This helps us watch for your application, but all applications undergo formal review in January, so we cannot provide individualized responses beforehand.
Georgia Tech Undergraduate or M.S. Students
We typically recruit students at the start of each semester for research credit through a Special Topics course. We are also starting a VIP (Vertically Integrated Projects) section for undergraduate students to become involved with the lab.
If you’re interested, please review our projects page and directly email the PhD students involved with the project you’re most interested in. Include:
- Your current year at Tech
- Why you’re interested in that specific project
- Relevant experience and what you hope to gain from the research
- Your CV/resume
General inquiries can be sent to mtucker@gatech.edu with the subject line “Current GT Undergraduate Student” or “Current GT Masters Student”.
Prospective Postdocs
The lab does not currently have funding to accept postdocs. But if you have already secured a funded postdoc fellowship and would like to work with us, please send an email to mtucker@gatech.edu.
