Notes to Students:

• Read: all the relevant papers from major proceedings/journals. Read and read! And read some non CS books as well.
• Students are expected to develop systems, publish in top outlets and go for overseas summer internships.
• I do not supervise Master students -- my master students, who fail QE or downgrade, will take as long as PhD students. Do not come to me if you are not sure about doing PhD, as it is not an easy path.
