Group Values

New and Emerging Semiconductors Group Values V1

At present the group is just beginning so I can only outline the values I have and believe are important when starting the research group. As more members join the group we will revisit and build upon the values outlined below. I see our core values as fluid and I hope they will grow overtime as the group does.

A large focus of our group research is on materials and technologies which we hope will be an important part in a sustainable energy future. I believe that the best science is done by interdisciplinary teams with members who have diverse backgrounds. I also believe that the best science is done in environments where you feel included and supported. The wellbeing of this research group is important to me.  

The New and Emerging Semiconductors Group strives to be a feminist, anti-racist research group which welcomes all members irrespective of their gender, gender identity and expression, race, religion, sexual orientation, disability or physical appearance. As a member of the research group you will be expected to uphold these values and work with other group members to create a supportive environment.

Scientifically our goal is to do good science. Good science, to me, is rigorous, interesting and reproducible. It will be hard but I hope it will also be fun and that the members of this group will be proud of the work they do. Collaboration and team-work is essential in this group, there are no lone geniuses here. Everyone in the research group is accountable for their own behaviour and their scientific conduct.
