  Message to Prospective PhD Students

    If you enjoy doing simple research (including, e.g. meta-analysis), then I might be the right person for you to work with in the next 4 years of your PhD study. Nevertheless, when I say "doing simple research" (but not naive research), it should not be an excuse that you can be bad at math.

    I would expect that you can do some deep research, but meanwhile, you are also able to present your paper in a simple way so that readers can easily follow. Being a PhD student in the math department, math must be something you enjoy and are good at — everything else you can learn thereafter.

    On the day you receive your PhD degree, I very much hope that you will have equipped with good statistical thinking, good critical thinking, and willing to keep thinking, rather than you just have a good CV showing that you have learned the tricks how to publish papers in academic journals.
