Who this advisor fits / 什么情况下适合你
- You want theory depth and proof/analysis-oriented problem framing.
- Industry research or startup/translation paths appeal to you (meaningful share in public outcomes).
- Strong fit for theory-heavy ML/RL applicants with algorithms, optimization, LLM acceleration, or decision-making-under-uncertainty evidence.
- 你要的是理论深度、证明/分析导向的问题设定。
- 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）。
- 适合理论导向的ML/RL申请人，具备算法、优化、LLM acceleration或决策在不确定性下的能力。
What to watch for / 什么情况下要慎重
- You only want fast benchmarks/API hacking, not domain papers or longer experimental loops.
- Faculty-only is your sole goal and you want zero industry/translation exposure.
- 你只想做快速 benchmark / API 拼装，不想读领域论文或做长期实验。
- 你把「教职为唯一目标」且完全不想碰工业/转化网络。
