Who this advisor fits / 什么情况下适合你
- You want ML tied to real data and deployable problems (signal: visual computing · computer vision).
- Industry research or startup/translation paths appeal to you (meaningful share in public outcomes).
- Applicants should show visual computing depth and a concrete scientific/biomedical/vision domain where visualization or ML changes the analysis.
- 你想把 ML 接到真实数据与落地问题（当前信号：visual computing · computer vision）。
- 工业研究或创业/转化路径对你有吸引力（公开去向里占比不低）。
- 申请人应展示 visual computing 级别的深度，并在 ai 的可视化或 ML 方面提供具体的科学、生物医学或视觉分析，以改变分析结果。
What to watch for / 什么情况下要慎重
- You want pure theory ML with little domain data or cross-disciplinary collaboration.
- Faculty-only is your sole goal and you want zero industry/translation exposure.
- 你要的是纯理论 ML、几乎不碰领域数据或跨学科合作。
