Academic excellence

Explore and discover
Our hands-on fundamental research fuels innovation using basic principles of science to advance understanding of natural, human-made, and social systems. We make new discoveries and share them to benefit our local, national, and international communities.
Encouraging and supporting entrepreneurial ideas
My research group is willing to take risks and explore challenging and exotic ideas. We want to go where no one has wanted to go before.
