Who this advisor fits / 什么情况下适合你
- You care about faculty-track outcomes; public alumni rows include verifiable faculty placements.
- Industry research or startup/translation paths appeal to you (meaningful share in public outcomes).
- Fit should emphasize probabilistic/statistical ML and domain data science, especially climate/health/social data with uncertainty.
- 你在意学术教职/教职轨去向，公开校友里有可核对的教职案例。
- 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）。
- 应强调概率统计与 domain 数据科学，特别是气候、健康和社会数据，其中 uncertainty 应作为关键要素。
What to watch for / 什么情况下要慎重
- Faculty-only is your sole goal and you want zero industry/translation exposure.
- 你把「教职为唯一目标」且完全不想碰工业/转化网络。
