ACTIVE - TEAM

GROUP VALUES

The central goal of our group is to assist students in growing as professional researchers, colleagues, and individuals, so that students can independently tackle and solve any challenges they might encounter in their future careers.

As professional researchers, our students will develop problem-solving skills and build creativity, enabling them to think outside the box and pursue innovation.
As professional colleagues, our students will develop effective communication skills and build reliability, contributing to a supportive and respectful team environment.
As professional individuals, our students will develop social skills, build responsibility, and acquire a unique speciality, enabling them to adapt effectively to various situations.

PROFESSIONAL TRAINING PROGRAM

To help students grow as professional researchers, colleagues, and individuals, our group provides structured and customized professional training programs, including:

1:1 Regular Individual Meetings
Scheduled regular meetings are held individually with each student to monitor research progress, refine experimental strategies, and discuss career development goals. Customized guidance is provided based on each student's evolving needs.
1:1 Irregular Individual Meetings
Students can request individual meetings at any time to discuss research, technical challenges, career planning, or personal concerns. Immediate support is provided to address issues flexibly.
Regular Group Meetings
Group meetings are held every 2–3 weeks. At each meeting, students can freely choose one of the following options based on their current needs and progress:
- Research updates
- Paper review sessions
- Open discussions
Hands-on Training for Oral and Poster Presentations
Students receive step-by-step guidance and practice opportunities to prepare oral and poster presentations for conferences and seminars, focusing on clear storytelling, audience engagement, and visual design.
Hands-on Training for Research Paper Writing
Students are trained in planning, drafting, and revising scientific manuscripts targeting SCIE journals. Emphasis is placed on logical flow, data presentation, scientific rigor, and peer review processes.
Hands-on Training for Patent Writing
Practical guidance is provided for writing patent applications based on students' research outputs. Students learn how to identify patentable ideas, structure claims, and understand the basics of intellectual property protection.

LAB TRAINING PROGRAM

To support students at different stages of their academic journey, our group offers a structured training program tailored to the students’ experience levels.
