It was the PI who I wanted to join, but the interview was just 10 minutes, so I did not think of it as a proper interview. I was wrong, it was indeed an interview with him. The PI mentioned that official in-person interviews are will be out end of January (24-25-26).

got an e-mail from the Professor of the Bioengineering school on January 4th (sunday lol) to have 'a brief zoom meeting next week'. not a PI of my interest but since I've already reached out to PI of my interest before applying - maybe it's normal idnk. any thoughts on what is it going to be about?)
