Questions about my potential PhD advisor

[QUOTE="jedishrfu, post: 6452379, member: 376845"] I think a mature PhD advisor is likely a better choice than a younger one who would be still trying to establish his/her academic career with cutting edge research. The younger PhD would be more focused on the research and less so on the students working on it. I knew a friend who got caught in the backwash of a research focused PhD who initially was interested in the work he was doing and then moved on to some other hot topic and pretty much ignored the hapless grad student. He wasn’t alone there were others who got so frustrated they left the university believing they would never get their PhD while remaining in the program. Eventually, the dept chair had to step in when one of the senior faculty asked why this prof wasn't graduating any of his grad students. [/QUOTE]
