Our research philosophy includes the following elements:

First

Open and collaborative group structure, with shared responsibilities, efforts and rewards.

Second

Principled behavior in all aspects of our research, from citation to reporting, from collaboration to credit assignment, from genesis of idea to genesis of code.

Third

Seeking out and understanding the most meaningful problems for which our abilities can one day lead to meaningful and useful solutions.

Fourth

Avoidance of incremental work and over-specialization.
