No need to try and subtly show off bitch.

I honestly don't understand... I didn't do anything... I just did my research and showed up to the meetings. I have a 2.5 GPA.

The catch is you'd be working with an illiterate.
Is he indian, OP? Don't ever work with indians.

Chinese, but he worked in Europe for 5 years. He specializes in electrochemistry and AFM/STM. He's actually an expert with the instrument.

PhD Physics guy here.

What you are missing is tons, absolutely tons, of hard work. Being asked to join a lab on a PhD project is flattering. Other side of the coin is that the prof needs, absolutely needs, people to do a lot of heavy lifting.

Good grades is one set of qualifications. Stamina to complete on time is equally important. With 2.5 GPA it might be that stamina is what got his attention.

Mind you doing a PhD is no bad thing. It just isn't that glamorous.
