He will probably return to China in the second half of next year, and by then the two subjects of physics and materials will be his key breakthrough areas.

Having participated in scientific research in physics and chemistry laboratories, I can help him get started.

So Xu Chuan arranged for Gu Bing to be the first interviewer.

On the computer, the meeting and interview room opens.

The figure of Gu Bing waiting for the interview came into Xu Chuan's eyes, making him involuntarily stunned.

Without him, the image of this student named Gu Bing is very different from the photo on his resume.

In the photo, he has jet black hair, but during the interview he looked like a math expert. At the age of twenty-five, his hair has already receded like the Pacific Ocean.

After being stunned for a moment, Xu Chuan came to his senses, coughed slightly, and said, "Are you Gu Bing?"

On the other end, when he heard the questioning, Gu Bing almost stood up nervously and said quickly, "It's me, Gu Bing."

Seeing the nervous interviewer in the video, Xu Chuan smiled and comforted him, "Don't be nervous, it's just a simple interview."

"Okay, okay."

Although he was comforted, classmate Gu Bing was still nervous.

But this is normal, after all, this interview determines his future.

He wants to apply not only to Princeton, but also to Xu Chuan, a top mathematics professor who has proved the seven millennium problems.

Regardless of age, this is like an ordinary ordinary citizen suddenly meeting the boss of his province one day. The level gap is too big, and everyone will be nervous.

"Please introduce yourself in English."

Xu Chuan did not give the interviewer much time to adjust his mentality. After all, this was also part of the assessment.

For a top mathematics professor like him, there are many opportunities for students to give reports on stage.

If your psychological quality is not strong enough, how can you control the overall situation?

However, as long as he is not the kind of top-level social fear, normal people can be trained. He was also trained step by step under Witten.

Hearing this, Gu Bing seemed to have deserted the class and was suddenly called upon by the teacher. His body jumped upright. After a few seconds, he said, "Hello, professor, my name is Gu Bing."

Gu Bing was introducing himself on the other end, and Xu Chuan was listening on the other end.

Although I sometimes made mistakes due to nervousness, at least the interviewer's English was passable.

"I read your application materials. Your study direction is algebraic topology and analytic geometry. Please tell me about your understanding of smooth Riemannian manifolds."

After waiting for the other party to finish introducing himself, Xu Chuan started to ask questions. It took him about ten minutes to have a basic understanding of the interviewer in front of him.

His basic skills are quite solid, and his talent seems to be quite average, but surprisingly, he has begun to have some ideas of his own in the field of mathematics, and he is not ashamed of his hair that is gradually receding.

As for character, I can’t tell yet.

As for letters of recommendation, there is one from Academician Zhang Weiping of Riyue University.

Considering this factor, his character should not be too bad, so after failing the interview, he put a circle on his resume.

This means to wait and see, indicating that the interviewer has not satisfied him enough to make a decision, but he has not been able to deny it, which is quite satisfactory.

As for whether he can be selected, it depends on whether any of the interviewees from China can surpass him.
