Interview
I was contacted by the interviewer, who will also be my mentor. The first interview was a 30-minute discussion with him about my research. The second round was with a colleague from his team. Overall, the position was very research-oriented — I mainly introduced my work and discussed potential future directions that could align with the team’s ongoing projects.
