报告内容:I have often encountered questions such as “How to mentor young researchers?” “How do you run a large research lab at USC?” It is actually not easy to give simple answers to these questions. Growth of young researchers depends on several factors: motivation, ambition, problem selection, research environment, guidance and feedback, writing and presentation. Furthermore, most young researchers such as MS/PhD students and post-docs pay little attention to the management issue such as time, objective, resources and teamwork management. If a graduate student can be more sensitive to his/her resource management, it is likely that he/she will graduate in a timely manner. The management skills become even more important, when a person starts to work after graduation. I received little training in management myself in the PhD program. However, during my career, I have gradually learned management skills to meet several challenges. I feel that this knowledge will be very beneficial to MS/PhD students, if they are sensitive to the need in an early stage. In this talk, I will share my own research experience at MIT and USC and my experience of running a large research lab at USC. Quite a few principles should be beneficial to students as well as faculty.
