Values and Culture

We pursue fundamental understanding of physical phenomena in nanoscale materials while recognizing the potential for transformative technological applications.

We value scientific integrity, precision, and intellectual honesty in all aspects of our research, from sample fabrication to measurement to data interpretation.

We cultivate individual expertise where each member develops their own research project while actively collaborating, sharing knowledge, and supporting one another’s progress. We maintain a culture where asking questions is encouraged and valued.

We are committed to mentoring the next generation of researchers, developing expert experimental skills, critical thinking, and clear scientific communication.

We promote diversity, equity, and inclusion, and strive to create a laboratory environment that is safe, respectful, and welcoming to all members as we contribute to the advancement of materials science.
