Research Philosophy

Research is the basis for intellectual inquiry. One measure of research has to be its potential use for the betterment of mankind. Therefore, commercialization should be at least one of the parameters driving research projects. Working jointly with industry addresses these issues and provides an exciting and mutually beneficial collaborative environment.
