1. Adherence to Fundamentals: The Beginning of Everything
- Manage health
- Make gratitude a habit
- Read papers everyday, even if they don't immediately help
- Train simulation tools and equipment usage thoroughly
- Completing given tasks in time
2. Communication: Excessive Communication is Better than No Communication
- Reporte to the professor every Monday (plans) and Friday (summaries) on time (no later than 6 PM)
- Presenting at lab meetings at least twice a month
- Having one-on-one meetings with the professor at least twice a month (excluding lab meetings)
- Provoking and wisely resolving conflicts as needed in the context of research topics
- Having in-depth meetings with assigned undergraduate students for at least 30 minutes weekly (one-on-one, excluding meals)
- Necessary to attack ideas but refrain from personal attacks
- Declining requests decisively
3. Simulation: Don’t Become a Hands-On Optimizer
- Think, record, and strive to verify goals, and correct mistakes if needed
- Avoid repetitive simple simulations
- Automate the repetitive process as much as possible to save time
4. Theoretical Study: Systematic Recording
- When reading papers, summarize (1) the problem, (2) the approach, (3) key figures and graphs, (4) the conclusion
- When reading review papers, focus on (1) the development process of the technology, (2) key specifications, (3) techniques to achieve these specifications
- Study not only with your eyes but also by summarizing
- Even if not as rigorously as undergraduate classes, do not neglect participation and study in graduate course works.
5. Be Ambitious: The Beginning of Everything
- Despite difficulties, focus on topics with research value rather than those that are easy to write papers on
- When opportunities arise, speak up confidently without being intimidated
