## Advisor Style & Mentorship He runs his lab like an asian authoritarian parent. He holds lab meetings on Saturday and monday so that his students cannot spend any time out of lab. This advising style will kill all the student's enthusiasm.
## Expectations for PhD Students "Oh, you are a first year PhD student, now work on this fairy-tale project for which there is no experienced person in this lab to help you with".
## Funding & Support
## Research He starts projects that requires skilled post-docs he does not have and then leaves students stranded after failing to make any progress working in these projects. Also the PI tends to jump from research topic to topic, its very tough for the students to develop competitive skills that is required to get jobs. **Students struggle to get jobs after graduating** **Also, as he jumps from one research area to another, his lab is really ill equipped for some of the projects** ## Lab Culture
