Student Advising

Scheduling, expectations for meetings, and student placements (NYU & Duke).

Schedule & research assistantships

Please read the scheduling rules carefully before booking.
Schedule a Meeting

For Ph.D. students (and M.A RA/Undergraduate Honors Thesis student) I advise — if you would like to make an appointment, please schedule at here. All meeting slots are first-come-first-served. To make our meeting productive, please prepare a 2–3 pages of write-up specifying the questions you would like to discuss about.

  • For my Ph.D. advisees who are 4th year and above, additional meetings can be arranged via email daniel.xu@duke.edu.
  • For ALL others, please email me at daniel.xu@duke.edu before you schedule an appointment online.
Tip: If you paste a short agenda in your email, it helps me route you to the right slot format (quick check-in vs. deep dive).
