内容提要：
In this talk, I will share my life experience as a PhD student at MIT (2001-2008). It was a mixture of hardship in culture adaptation, and fun in learning new stuff and making new friends.I will use a series of photos to illustrate how life as a Phd student can be. In the second part of this talk, I will share some insights I have learned over the journey, for various key activities in research, ranging from writing technical papers, conducting impactful research and presenting results.
