Advices
to Graduate Students
· Be persistent, hard working, and creative. Be happy, confident, and honest.
· Read all the relevant papers from major journals and conferences on any subject you choose to work on. Reading is an important part of your learning.
· Thinking is more important than reading. Reading with a specific problem in mind is a good way of thinking.
· Articles I recommend you to read:
o Useful Things to Know About Ph. D. Thesis Research by Professor H.T. Kung, Harvard.
o Follow your heart by Andrew Mattews.
