Recently online to the Beijing Computational Science Research CenterProfessor Xue PengAfter winning the "Outstanding Young Scientists" (National Outstanding Young Scientists**), there is a lot of doubt about wanting to jump back to Southeast University in a hurry, especially the one that has been criticized by the majority of netizens is:You leave your job and leave, what will happen to the graduate students you recruited, and will you be able to graduate? It means that Professor Xue Peng does not consider students at all and is very irresponsible.
On this subject, in fact this is not the case, or even the opposite! I have never met Professor Xue Peng and have never crossed paths. However, the truth cannot be drowned out or distorted, and we cannot casually speculate that people have been wronged. I certify that the facts stated are from an official authority**Please read it patiently, you will definitely be inspired and gained.
If the supervisor resigns to another unit, there are three plans for the training of graduate students under his name: (1) the graduate student himself can apply for a change of supervisor; (2) The supervisor may continue to supervise the graduate student in another unit until he or she graduates (this can be regarded as:External Tutor Adjunct Professor）；(3) Students are also availableFollow the mentor to the next unitContinue your studies to complete your studiesPersonnel relations and graduation certificates remain the original unit**Learning is very difficult, and it requires the approval of the higher education authority, which is almost impossible).
Let's talk with the facts. Please pay attention to the timeline: Professor Xue PengJanuary 2018Joined the Beijing Computational Science Research CenterSo what about her graduate students who haven't graduated from Southeast University yet?
Ph.D. student Zhan Xiang, born in 1990, 2013-2018 in the School of Physics, Southeast University, Zhan Xiang is a master's and doctoral degree (graduated in 5 years), he successfully passed the doctoral defense on May 20, 2018, the supervisor Professor Xue Peng has left the University of Tokyo at this time to work in the Beijing Computer Science Center, but Professor Xue did not delay his studies for a day. Zhan Xiang achieved excellent results during his doctoral studies, and was introduced as a high-level talent as soon as he graduatedHe is a professor and full professor at the School of Science, Nanjing University of Science and Technology！What is the quality of the training?
Dr. Zhan Xiang is the second way I mentioned above, where the tutor continues to guide the students after going to another unit until graduation.
Dr. Xiao Lei, born in 1992, studied at Southeast University from 2015 to 2020, and is also a master's and doctoral degree (graduated in 5 years). Xiao Lei is even more typical, when Professor Xue Peng went to Beijing Computer Science Center in January 2018, he was still 2 years away from graduating with a doctorate! As I expectedI found it onlineXiao Lei adopted the third method I mentioned above, he followed his supervisor to Beijing to continue his research work! Xiao Lei's studies were not affected, and his supervisor still let him graduate on time and get a doctorate, without extension! Moreover, although Xiao Lei has experienced many twists and turns, he has withstood the test, not only graduated on time but also achieved excellent research resultsHe is the winner of the excellent doctorate degree in Jiangsu Province!
Xiao Lei went to ** after graduation? He stayed in the group of Prof. Peng Xue, and is currently a research assistant professor at the Beijing Center for Computer Science. It is also worth mentioning that I never found out that Xiao Lei's undergraduate was in **, and I speculated that his first degree may not be good and not made public. As his mentor, Professor Xue Peng did not discriminate and neglect him, and even valued him very much, and trained him into an excellent scholar within a scheduled time! (Dr. Xiao Lei probably does not have a career editor at present, and I estimate that Professor Xue Peng probably plans to bring him back to Southeast University with him, which can solve his establishment problem).
Professor Xue Peng is a distinguished young man, but there are not many graduate students under her supervision, and I did not examine them one by one. It is summarized as follows:
1.I'm not saying that all tutor departures don't have an impact on students (and in fact many do), but the facts before us show that:The young Professor Xue Peng treats students very friendly, can think about students, and the quality of training is also high, which is by no means irresponsible as criticized by many netizens.
2.Studying for a PhD is very difficult, and you should be cautious when choosing a tutor, and there are certain benefits to choosing a big tutor as much as possible (high quality of training and good employment prospects). Of course, you have to do a good job of background adjustment, and the tutor should be niceEspecially if you don't get stuck to graduate (remember!) The same goes for a master's degree.
3.We can see from the examples of Zhan Xiang and Xiao Lei that their research results are very good and comparable, but Zhan Xiang is from Southeast University and can work at Nanjing University of Science and Technology after graduationProfessor, and although Xiao Lei is very good, he may not have a good undergraduate school, and he did not get the establishment immediately after graduating from the doctorate. Visible,At present, employers still attach more importance to the first academic qualification.
