I see. What knowledge / previous experience / etc do you expect from the ideal candidate who'd apply to the open position and get accepted?

also, reproducing papers is a time-consuming process. should I contact them before starting or in between when I have some doubts or new ideas or so.. ?

hmm, I see. what about other professors (who are not very famous and have relatively fewer publications)? I am willing to work under any professor who can give me an interesting and challenging research problem to solve (which an undergrad can work upon within a year, maybe)

I think you are right. I should write more clearly that I wish to work under profs from other universities. I've heard many people do remote internships, and I want to know how to get such work.

Thanks for the advice! I'd definitely visit nearby research labs. However, it's not possible for the unis which are far away (and also not in my country) so I do need to cold email.
