  1. Research about the professors/groups you are interested in:
    1. Check out the professors' websites at MIT's NSE: keep in mind some of them might be out of date, and not all professor listed on it is actively accepting students.
    2. Research about the professors' recent publications to get an idea of the projects he/she has. Two sites I like to start for searching for publications are:
      1. Engineering Village/Compendex: Engineering Village (requires MIT certificate)
      2. Web of Science: Web of Science (requires MIT certificate)
    3. Ask the graduate students that work in the group. You can check out this page to find out which students work for which professors (info needs update): NSE Student Office Directory (Excluding PSFC, RLE) 10-2012
  2. Email the professor of interest and politely ask whether he/she can meet briefly to discuss whether he/she has new opening and/or funding available.
  3. Decide on a group/project. You should definitely decide by the end of first year.
