We take research seriously and life equally so. A few things we believe in:

• Work hard, play harder. We chase hard problems and good food with equal enthusiasm. The lab pulls together for hiking, hot pot, and ball games, not just for papers.
• Ask why, and then ask again. Not knowing a frontier method genuinely bothers us, so we read, debug, and argue about new ideas, not because we have to but because we want to. Lifelong learning is the job and the joy.
• No question off the table. Your advisor is your collaborator, sounding board, and occasional editor. Talk to her about your draft, your career, or your weekend, all on the same channel.
• Bring your own compass. Your interests and your life plan are yours. Whatever direction you point, we help you sharpen the path.
• Honest, looking out for each other. Tell the truth, share what works and does not, lend a hand. The best labs feel like a team/family, and ours tries to be one.
