Student Advising Philosophy
I am inspired by my adviser, David Notkin's
philosophy about working with students, which he inherited from
his academic father, Nico Habermann. “Focus on the students, since graduating great students
means you’ll produce great research, while focusing on the
research may or may not produce great students.”
