Professor and graduate student are featured in an , which appears in the latest issue of the journal Nature.
Here’s an excerpt:
“To glean the most from the relationship, it’s best to be honest about what you want to do with your career, even if it differs from a mentor’s own path — as maths PhD student Vyacheslav Kiria-Kaiserberg learned. In 2011, he asked mathematician Alex Iosevich of the 91×ÔÅÄÂÛ̳ in New York to be one of his committee members. The two subsequently spent many hours talking informally, and Kiria-Kaiserberg was upfront about his hopes to work in industry. So Iosevich introduced Kiria-Kaiserberg to his brother Sam, a manager at a data-science company in Chicago, Illinois, over dinner at Iosevich’s home.
The informal meeting was a success by all accounts: this summer, after Kiria-Kaiserberg defends his dissertation, he will start work as a consultant at Sam Iosevich’s company. “It’s very important to choose the right people,” says Kiria-Kaiserberg. “You can benefit from them and they can benefit from you.”
