  2. Tell us about you research interests and goals for the future, including specific topics or potential projects if you have any in mind (optional), and how our work aligns with your goals.
  3. Tell us about one research paper you enjoyed reading in the last 3 months, why, and how you can imagine improving or extending upon that work. This can but does not need to be a paper from Richard or the group.
  4. Tell us about an interest, hobby, or project you have worked on that’s not directly required for your academic curriculum, what you gained from it, and one secret to doing it better the next time. This can include personal research projects, sports, art, etc.
  5. Anything else you may want us to know, such as contextual information or special circumstances, etc.
