Technical Presentation
The process for this role doesn't really have a formal interview. Instead, you need to get good grades from the professor you're interested in working with. They'll give you a small task to see how you do. You really need to show you're keen to learn about their research area and that you can commit for a good while (several semesters or even years). Having a publication in a similar or related field already is a big advantage. But honestly, it all really hinges on the specific professor, how many students they already have, and their funding situation.
