We are committed to diversity, inclusion, and belonging through equitable and inclusive policies and practices. We recruit diverse students, postdoctoral researchers, and staff with the goal of creating a welcoming and inclusive environment where individuals of all identities, backgrounds, and experiences can thrive, have a strong sense of beloning, and achieve excellence. 

We strongly encourage open and candid conversation to discuss sensitive, controversial and tough issues to address scientific and societal problems. We welcome the first-principle reasoning to analyze the problems and generate new ideas. We allow stupid questions, left-field ideas, and half-finished thoughts that can slow things down, because we believe talking through these things is an essential part of the creative process. 

We deeply believe that innovation requires failure for success. We hold mistakes aginst each other that may hinder growth development and innovation. Through timely feedbacks and course-corrections, we maximize our researches’ quality, value, and impact with minimized time, effort, cost. 

We become more safe, stable, effective, and intelligent when we help each other and feel appreciated by our colleagues. By helping, interacting, and influencing each other in Bae Lab, we identify and enlarge our role as scientists, engineers, and educators for our society. We highly value collective effort and actively conduct collaborative research to achieve great shared intelligence in multidisciplinary research.
