"I enjoy the research assistant experience. First, this is a good chance for me to build the ability of self learning, take initiative, time management skill, creative thinking and problem solving. Second, during the five years PhD study, I also learned the spirit of teamwork and the skills of communication. This is an experience of self improvement."

"The research job provided me a chance on how to start a research project. Through the research job, I was trained and knew how to use different tools to analyze and probe an issue. Additionally, my programming skill was improved through the research job. The most difficulty of this job is the output data doesn't fit as expected, but when I find out and solve the problem, I believe that is the charm of research."
