楼主的询问贴引来热议,远在美国的李国强教授本人也知道了。他and many colleagues in the optics community 对于那些负面评价和近乎谩骂的回复很不解,认为与事实相去甚远。所以他写mail给我,做了一些陈述。为了信息公平,这里一并贴出,希望能帮大家更好做出判断。
I give a brief introduction of myself. I have a successful track of record in my career. I was promoted to full professor and PhD advisor in 1999 just before I came to US. I was among the youngest PhD advisors at that time in Chinese Academy of Sciences. After coming to US, I continue to work hard and adapt myself to the American culture and working ethics. I was promoted gradually to a research faculty member at University of Arizona, a tenure-track faculty member at University of Missouri-St. Louis, and a tenured faculty member at The Ohio State University.
My work is well known in my field and I am a respected professor in the world. Because of my reputation, I was nominated to the Division Chair of the Optical Society of America and I have been frequently invited to give talks across the world, including in Beijing, Shanghai, Nanjing, etc. in China. My grants went through peer review by the top scientists and I am well funded by the US government. Recently I pay more attention to the impact of the work.
I wrote the whole proposal that was funded and led to an article in Nature. Of course I am proud of it. It was based on my technique that we obtained the result. The order of the author does not always reflect the real contributions and sometimes attention is paid to the success of the project.
I would like to let you know that I treat everybody I recruited extremely nicely and I always do things with logic thinking and in a professional manner. Before I recruit anybody, I already have the ideas for him/her to work on and try to ask them to prepare for the project. I create an excellent working environment for everybody to allow them to be productive and successful. As long as they can follow my ideas and have the ability to do the work, they can submit the papers to the journals.
Unfortunately when I worked at University of Missouri - St. Louis (UMSL),the general quality of the applicants was not so competitive. So I did not recruit anybody nearly for the first 2 years and during that time I built the state-of-the-art optics lab mainly by myself. But I had to get some people to work in the lab and take data. So I started to hire visiting scholars, postdocs, and graduate students. I stayed there for less than 3.5 years in total. So it is normal that those people work with me for less than 1.5 years before I moved to a much better university. Some visitors are supposed to work for a few months and the student for internship was supposed to work just for summer. It is ok that some people may change their interests and have different thoughts. A few people who worked with me before expressed to me recently that they want to join my group again at OSU.
Once again, I treated those people at UMSL very well. Because nobody else in my lab had a car, I almost picked everybody up at the airport and helped them to find the apartments. Sometimes I took them to the supermarket for shopping and took them for lunch or dinner. I indeed tried to create an environment like a family.
I moved to The Ohio State University one year ago. In the beginning I recruited two people without interview and just based on simple reference and there were some problems. At here the general quality of the people that are recruited is much better and I can get excellent postdocs. Right now I have three postdocs and two students and they are productive and have good personality. I did more strict screening and careful interview and I requested their supervisor's reference letters.
I just list some basic facts here. Those slander messages are so ridiculous and make no sense. I know one person has been creating different accounts and writing mulple messages. Many professors asked me to ingore such messages. I like to be open and frank. I am having a group at OSU that is getting better and better, and I am confident that my lab will be fruitful and the continuous achievements will further strengthen my reputation. I am already recognized by the society and the top scientists. Those slander messages will not damage my image among the top scientists. I hope the young students who do not know the facts are not affected and I encourage the young students to communicate with me directly. I am happy to help you.

14, 你看看XX给我写的manuscript,we plan to publish it on Nature, I'm only interested in working with excellent scientist. I'm scientist, so my students should also be scientist, you are not qualified to be my student.
Never join this guy group or lab,he will use you and you will get nothing from him (not fund or knowledge). I had done so much work for him but I was told I am not a good fit and didnt even got paid for my work
You will be his advisor and teacher after you get into his lab, and you will be forced to teach him a lot of knowledge before you leave him. It seemed that this "professor" know nothing. Nobody know how this stupid guy entitled as professor. It's stupid miracle
He is stupid and very push. He can't teach a class cause he speak really bad English. Do not ever get involved with him or enter his lab. You will regret it, I promise. He has over 20 students or postdoc and no one ever had happy ending with him.
