What, would you reckon, is the correct way of reading a research paper? Plz guide me with your experience.

I would greatly appreciate your perspective on PhD interviews from the interviewer's side or someone who has gone through them:

1. Beyond subject knowledge, what are the strongest signals during an interview that make you think in the favour of the candidate?

2. How deeply do interviewers typically probe technical foundations? Should candidates expect detailed derivations and first-principles reasoning or is the emphasis more on conceptual understanding?

3. Is the focus more on what he has done, or what he wants to do in your group?

4. If you could ask only one question to assess a student's research potential, curiosity, and intellectual maturity, what would that question be and why?

Thank you for sharing your insights!
