## Advisor Style & Mentorship I had a meeting with Dr. Ge every week in a 1:1 setting. During every meeting, he shared his valuable insights and opinions about my research, (of course) things I need to improve on, and, most importantly, encouragement whenever I felt that I was getting behind and/or not doing well. It is an unwritten rule that everyone who is working on their degree struggles at least once, meaning it is pretty common and PIs possibly just don't really care about how students feel. Maybe all they want is progress and results from their students. However, Dr. Ge was very different in that regard. **Dr. Ge is one of the nicest and most kind professors you can ever find and he genuinely takes care of his students and puts his best effort to promote the success of his students.** Whether I was under his care or even after I graduated, he was always there when I needed his help and even reached out to me first to see how I was doing. I sincerely appreciate all he has done for me. My goal is to become like him both professionally and personally. ## Expectations for PhD Students I was not a PhD student, but a thesis based-Master's student. I worked in his laboratory for my MS thesis. He didn't have very high expectations of me as he did for his PhD students for the obvious reason that I was an MS student. However, I think that says a lot because even though I was a mere MS student, he put a lot of energy into me for the successful completion of my degree. ## Funding & Support I paid for my MS as that is how it is. I can’t get funding for my MS degree due to my personal reasons. However, Dr. Ge still tried his best to support me otherwise. I appreciate his effort a lot, though, because he didn't have to help me yet he tried his best. ## Research His work is on protein engineering, especially about antibody which is one of the most important parts of the immune system. His work and which field he is working on are very, very promising. The primary reason I joined his lab was also the bright future ahead of his work and field. ## Lab Culture Lab members are helping each other which I deemed as a very healthy culture.
Yes, I recommend this PI.

## Advisor Style & Mentorship Literally no mentorship during postdoc or PhD training. Before you get into his group, he shows nice face in the rotation. Once you get into his group, the first week he asks about your goal in the future. If you say you want to be a professor, he will delay your publication because you'll be under control. Same, if you say you want to get into industry, he'll say he has the right to write any kind of recommendation letter. His emotion is sometimes unstable, and always freaks out the students in his group. So far as I know, 4 PhD students quit from his group even before the first PhD student graduation.
## Expectations for PhD Students He likes PhD students who listen to him no matter what. So he will pick the a student to be 'butler' and have private talks about each student's performance and behavior in the lab. You'll feel spied sometimes because he knows what you're doing every day.
## Funding & Support Funding is good honestly. No worry on the funding support.
## Research Negative. Everyone feels spied and don't trust each other.
## Lab Culture Not really good. Check his publication and citation here. Not many citations or papers. https://scholar.google.com/citations?hl=en&user=zOMUhtwAAAAJ
## Additional Information He has bad relationship with other professors in the department, because he always said bad words in their back.
