We welcome M.Tech students from IIT Bombay and other institutes for thesis projects and research internships. Current project areas include:
Requirements: A strong background in mechanical engineering, materials science, or related fields; programming skills in MATLAB or Python are valuable. IIT Bombay students can directly approach Prof. Marla to discuss potential projects. External students should apply through their institution’s internship or exchange program coordinators. For specific project inquiries, email Prof. Marla with your CV, academic transcripts, and a brief statement of research interests.
We offer internships throughout the year for motivated undergraduate and graduate students. Internships typically last 2–6 months and provide hands-on experience in experimental or computational research. You are also encouraged to apply through the IRCC Research Internship Scheme (link below). Current internship projects include:
Application process: Applications are accepted on a rolling basis. Send the following to dmarla@iitb.ac.in with the subject line “Internship Application – [Your Name]”: CV or resume, a brief statement of interest (1 page maximum), academic transcripts, and your preferred internship period. Note: due to limited spots, we can only respond to shortlisted candidates. Apply at least 3 months before your intended start date.
Clearly articulate your research interests and how they align with our lab’s focus areas. Be specific about which projects or techniques interest you most.
Highlight your experience working in collaborative environments. Our research often involves cross-disciplinary teams with different areas of expertise.
Familiarize yourself with our lab’s recent publications. Being knowledgeable about our current research demonstrates genuine interest.
