How we work

Philosophy

From Principles to Systems 

Research in our lab is driven by the pursuit of fundamental physical principles. 

We prioritize careful reasoning over rapid output, and understanding mechanisms over simply optimizing outcomes. 

Progress here may be gradual, but it is grounded in clarity and physical insight. 

We view research not just as a task, but as a continuous form of inquiry and reflection. 

Mentoring

Individual Focus 

The lab is intentionally small to ensure that every student is mentored as an individual researcher, not as interchangeable labor. Mentoring is centered around regular one-on-one meetings, where students are encouraged to articulate their reasoning freely and engage in deep discussion.

By supporting students without unnecessary intervention, I aim to cultivate independent thinkers who develop confidence and ownership in their own perspectives. 

Culture

Growth through Collaboration  

Collaboration in our lab goes beyond simply sharing tasks; it is about sharing perspective. 

We expect students to be active participants in their colleagues' research, offering feedback and fresh viewpoints. By engaging in constant dialogue, we create a safe space where mistakes are learning opportunities and success is a shared achievement.
