Abstract:

In this talk, I will share some of my experience in developing an academic
career from a graduate student in the CSE department to a tenured
professor in the United States. The talk is expected to be interactive. I
will share a few personal stories, and cover topics which I think are more
important than others from the perspective of career development, such as
understanding the academic system, research impact, collaboration,
and mentoring.
