Who this advisor fits / 什么情况下适合你
- You want ML tied to real data and deployable problems (signal: brain-computer interfaces · robot learning).
- Industry research or startup/translation paths appeal to you (meaningful share in public outcomes).
- Strong fit for applicants connecting ML, robotics, neural decoding, BCI, and computational neuroscience; roster is unusually current but spans CS/ECE/neuroscience.
- 你想把 ML 接到真实数据与落地问题（当前信号：brain-computer interfaces · robot learning）。
- 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）。
- 适合申请连接 ML、机器人识别、神经解码、脑机接口（BCI）及计算神经科学的申请人；当前名单较为活跃，涵盖 CS/ECE/神经科学。
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。
- 你把「教职为唯一目标」且完全不想碰工业/转化网络。
