Pro-bono office hours - Jun Gao
I decide to commit 1-2 hours every week (mostly on Sunday) to provide guidance, suggestions or mentorship for students, especially for people from underrepresented group. As a fifth-year PhD student, I always see the information asymmetry between junior students and senior students/researchers/professors on topics such as how to do research, how to select (or define) a research problem, how to work with supervisors (or other senior researchers), how to choose academic v.s. industry, how to face the failure in research or problems such as how to prepare for either graduate program or an industry job. This problem is more severe for underrepresented group, and I will try my best to reduce the information asymmetry.

Please fill this form in, detailing why you'd like to talk to me. I'll reach out with further details if I see a good match and have open slots that week.

Please briefly introduce yourself. I'm eager to know you ;)

It would be nice if you can include: your name, affiliation(s), your research interests, and/or relevant experience. If you have a webpage (or a link to your CV), that would be even better!!
What types of questions/topics do you want to discuss/chat about? This can help me to prepare in advance.

Please try to be concise and provide details of what you want to chat with me, and list what kind of support/guidance you want to get from our chat. 
What timezone are you in and what time would work for you best? This can help me handle the time difference and figure out a time that works for both of us
Please provide your email address so that I can contact you!
