Research I Enjoy
Inspired by my friend Jason Wei's similar post
Research I enjoy…
- Has social impact to improve people's lives and clearly leverages computing for the net benefit of humans
- Leverages my domain or technical expertise or experience
- Has immediate or near-term practical impact
- Is collaborative
- Is well-written and can be understood by as many readers as possible (is not inaccessible for flair)
Research I've done before and now try to avoid…
- Is not about a topic in which I have some domain expertise
- Is not collaborative
- Is rushed
- Is about an abstract concept without clear connections to social impact or human benefits
