I believe that the best way to learn how
to write and do research is “learning-by-doing.” Whenever possible,
I try to give the opportunity to students to collaborate in research
projects with me. This arrangement has worked out quite well most
of the time, and, as a result, I have working papers or published
papers with several doctoral students from the University of Illinois.
