To junior master/undergraduate students: if you would like to chat about life, career plan, or research ideas related to AI/ML. I will dedicate at least 30 mins every week for such meetings. I encourage students from underrepresented groups to reach out. Also check my calendar.
I maintain a personal marketplace of Claude Code plugins for daily workflows, such as TODO management, calendar / email triage, and conversation wrap-up. Install via /plugin marketplace add wenhaochai/claude-plugins.
