Our values

Our goal is to do great work while cultivating the next generation of scientific and engineering leaders. The lab's culture and Prof. Feig's mentoring and teaching philosophy all embody the core principles of our group.

• Growth mindset: the belief that all skills are learnable through dedication, guidance, and hard work.
• Holistic learning: training to become an excellent researcher extends beyond learning technical skills. Students in our lab also cultivate skills related to communication, collaboration, leadership, service, and mental resilience.
• Diversity, inclusion, and respect for all: we treat all people with dignity and respect and welcome people from all walks of life. At the same time, we will be open to feedback and continually strive to identify and eliminate subconscious biases. 
• Curiosity and a love of learning: staying curious not only makes the work more fun, it also leads to the most interesting discoveries. 
• High standards and integrity: we strive for exciting innovation while never compromising on quality and truth.
