Interested in working with us? You need to:
  • be really excited about our project
  • be persistent (get back up and continue when things don't work out as planned -- true research rarely works out as planned)
  • be fearless (e.g., be ok hacking a virtual machine, a compiler, a kernel, or implementing a complex algorithm)
  • have a small child's attitude (to want to understand and learn about everything they encounter)
  • have an engineer's attitude (not to take the first solution that comes to mind, but to look at the key alternatives)
  • have a researcher's attitude (to want to truly understand something, and to not be satisfied with the first best explanation)
  • want to look at the simple and obvious before exploring the complicated
  • be able to focus (to ignore the many other cool things one could also do)
  • derive pleasure from coming up with a logical and clear argument or explanation
  • like to read (books, papers, papers, papers)
  • like to write (prospectus, proposal, dissertation, and papers)
  • like to present (at conferences, or in class)
  • like to convince others using sound arguments
  • be ok working hard
  • under-promise and over-deliver
  • be happy staying in France for quite some time
  • be ok traveling long distance from time to time (e.g., for conferences)
