Learning Research is a collection of research guidance and mentorship materials designed to help graduate and undergraduate students develop research skills.
The repository addresses the challenge of transmitting research experience and methodology through written documentation rather than informal oral tradition. It provides structured guidance on becoming a strong doctoral researcher, organized around five core competencies: identifying important research problems, proposing solutions, conducting experiments, writing papers, and delivering presentations. The approach emphasizes setting long-term research goals with scientific and practical value, then developing a roadmap to address those goals through a series of coherent papers that demonstrate clear progress.
This material is most useful for students in the author's laboratory or those working in 3D vision research who want to understand how to structure a doctoral trajectory. The repository includes specific resources on getting started in 3D vision research, developing research abilities through problem-finding and experimentation, conducting research projects, writing papers, handling rebuttals, and creating academic presentation slides. The author acknowledges that the guidance reflects their specific research context and may not apply universally to all research environments or fields.
The project is maintained as a living document with updates occurring primarily in an external Notion workspace rather than through repository commits, meaning the commit history does not fully reflect the current state of the material. The author explicitly notes that the documentation may be incomplete and recommends combining it with practical experience and direct communication for deeper learning.
