Guo:<\/strong> I hope we\u2019ll have tremendous growth. The world of computing will change completely. In terms of research, I think we are at the point of a big breakthrough, if not in the next 10 years, maybe the next 20.<\/p>\nOne of the trends is multidisciplinary. We increasingly are looking at collaborations across different branches of science. We should foster a culture of collaboration for people to make big bets, do fundamental work, and achieve fundamental breakthroughs\u2014without having to worry about failure.<\/p>\n
The thing that has made me most proud is that we have grown people. Looking at the next 10 years, I think our trend will be not to grow dramatically in numbers, but to grow in quality. If you look at Microsoft Research Asia now, it\u2019s dominated by junior people. In the future, that will no longer be the case. We\u2019ll have more and more senior people. Junior people will grow up to be world-recognized leaders in their fields.<\/p>\n
That will be a good thing for the lab, and it will change the way we collaborate with universities. That will be a very important change, and we should make sure it happens, that we get the best senior people. But we will always add key new talent to our ranks, as well.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
