## Advisor Style & Mentorship Selfish. Maybe unconsciously selfish, but selfish. ## Expectations Even though he does not understand much science, you MUST follow all his guidance and micro-management. ## Funding & Support Almost lost visa status because of him. ## Research You will be able to publish a decent amount of papers. The catch is that... Read More
## Advisor Style & Mentorship During my second-to-last year as his PhD student (one of only two PhD students under his supervision, the other being in their first year), I often sought his input on certain notations and aspects of my work. However, he consistently dismissed my concerns, saying there was no urgency. Despite my repeated attempts to... Read More

In lab meetings he will constantly interrupt the presenter and mansplain the topic back to the student. I once watched him interrupt a postdoc so much that he basically gave the talk on the postdoc's topic. He mostly checks in on... Read More
Hi is really supportive and approachable, set clear expectations, and give you room to grow. The lab culture is genuinely fun and collaborative, and if you ever need help, they’re always there to guide you. It’s a great environment to learn and do research. I did see another comment that was more negative, so I think it might be a good idea to set... Read More
Very negative experience regarding the course and handling of intellectual property. Students should be extremely cautious about protecting their original work. Avoid at any... Read More
Chinese students need to stay away from him. He tends to exploit Chinese students. If you're an American student, you're probably... Read More
