Research Philosophy:

My research philosophy and thinking process can in part be summarized by the thoughtful statements listed below. Although basic in words, yet at core, I find these quotes remarkably intelligent and their respective nuances truly resonate with me.

 

on Writing “I don't know what I think until I write it down.”   – Joan Didion “Easy reading is damn hard writing.”   – Nathaniel Hawthorne
on Problem Solving “A problem well stated is a problem half solved.”   – Charles Kettering	on Simplicity/Clarity “Everything should be as simple as possible, but not simpler.”   – Albert Einstein
on Perfection/Design “Strive for perfection in everything you do. Take the best that exists and make it better. When it does not exist, design it.”    – Sir Henry Royce	on Creativity “Creativity is just connecting things.”   – Steve Jobs

Research Collaboration:

****IEEE Guidelines for Collaboration/Co-authorship (Chalmers CS Workshop 2016, Hindas, Sweden, Oct. 27, 2016)

In doing research we each have a specific methodology, analytical toolkit, and skillset that we use to get to some interesting results. Research collaboration is one approach that harnesses this intellectual undertaking. Indeed, scientific collaboration has many advantages; most notably, it expedites the outcome for genuine results, and it lowers the amount of research labor among investigators. In light of this, if my research direction, style and practice is of interest to you, then please do not hesitate to email me to discuss possible cooperation. I am always keen to hear from potential collaborators regarding their thoughts, ideas and comments. Below is a list of scholars I have personally been fortunate to interact and collaborate on the dissemination of scientific papers, the preparation of research grants, and the cooperation on projects:
