Review Body:[Imported 2026-04-22 from the advisor-ledger community mirror: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/the-hidden-fish/advisor-ledger/main/docs/deduped.html] • Michael Jordan出来的学生，又在MIT接受了训练，可想而知的水平极强 • 人品很好，为人随和好交流。能站在学生角度考虑 给学生充分空间和时间解释学生不懂的问题 • 不水文章。每年固定几篇solid work的产出，都有自己的想法和新意。 • 硬要鸡蛋里面挑骨头的话，唯一的可能就是工业界connection不足？但这对于本身投身在做theory work的人这里，本身就不是什么问题。 • 对于立志做theory的人 或者想经历完备research training的人来说应当是不二之选。 • 评价 顶中顶中顶 • 此条并非反对，只是说明下方向问题。有同学申请，聊起来能感觉老师人很不错，老师theory水平和学历没得说。但是老师最近应该是准备往emperical转了，不搞pure theory了。(感觉这也不属于“问题”。这年头本身纯theory就不好拿funding，先活下来比较重要。总之是好人，是真正在做research的人。)
