招生情况

- 本人80后，社恐。佛系做喜欢的研究，尤其对多智能体系统、智能决策和无人系统中的人因（Human factors）感兴趣。

- 个人指导风格为不定期约谈，积极回应任何交流讨论请求。如果你不找我，我会努力保证1-2周找你交流一次。学生归入大组管理，须定期参加大组会。

- 毕业要求按照大组来，不强迫顶刊顶会，但至少有还比较体面的会议和/或期刊论文，拒绝等着投喂的躺平毕业行为。

- 愿意投身学术、积极疯狂写paper的同学，本人可以积极配合疯狂指导，并联络各路学术大神联合指导。

- 愿意做工程项目、积极搞开发的同学，我们组项目充沛、天地软硬平台完善，分配制度慷慨合理。

- 小组没有日常聚餐，偶尔出钱请学生吃吃喝喝。大组会有期末、年终、不定期等活动，适合各类风格人群。

- 本人喜欢骑150cc以下小排量老头乐摩托遛弯，不喜欢组队出行。喜各类音乐，有会吉他或者单簧管的同学可以教教我！

- 每年招硕士2人左右，若有感兴趣的同学任何时候都可以邮件联系我。

- 毕业学生去向统计：企业大小厂4人，研究所2人，公/事2人，失联1人（留学生）
