We do have positions in exactly what you are looking for, so I encourage you to apply to our department for admitance. Of course you will need to supply TOEFL scores etc as outlined in the graduate admissions area of our university web site and you will have to meet the basic requirements of our department. When you apply, just say that Dr Antonelli expressed interest in your file.
Sincerely,
david Antonelli
2.Rao,
You have to formally apply to our department before you send TOEFL scores. The information is on the web page of graduate studies. If your marks are good and the recommendation letters from your advisors are good, and your toefl is good, then you will be accepted. And can join whichever group in the department is interested in you.

3.Rao,
There is no need to apply for scholarships as this is usually only done after the student is accepted, arrives, and has taken graduate courses. As for the GRE scores, you should contact graduate studies with these questions as the rules for admissions changes changes frequently. You will find it comforting to know that all graduate students are supported by TA and GA, the exact amount of which again can be obtained from graduate studies. When you contact them and your file is complete, make sure you ask them to send me a copy of the file so I can review everything.
Cheers,
dma
