Team Philosophy

Our team firmly believes that only by fulfilling our roles and responsibilities can we collectively reach greater heights and achieve our shared aspirations. To this end, I, as a leader, will:

• Define my success as your success in reaching your goals. I shall support you in every possible way, from all angles. We can reach our destination by taking one small step together. 

• Help you learn how to define significant and meaningful problems in our society, how to systematically interpret and analyze the problems from the perspectives of science and engineering, and how to translate our theoretical findings into practical applications that benefit both the field and the broader world. 

• Expect everyone in our group to foster good relationships, collaborate, and support one another, while also fulfilling our individual roles and responsibilities as members of our group, humanity, and the global community.
