Behavioral
The interview was pretty laid-back and more like a chat. Since I already knew the main researcher from my studies, we mostly talked about what research I wanted to do, my school background, and how it fit with what the lab is currently working on, instead of any super technical stuff.

- Could you tell me about the research fields that excite you the most and explain your reasoning behind those choices?
