After working on several research projects, I remind myself to always adhere to these guiding principles:
- Real Innovation:
- I value research that brings new perspectives, approaches, or solutions to existing problems.
- Elegance and Simplicity:
- I aim for solutions that are intuitive, logically sound, and efficient—avoiding unnecessary complexity.
- "Everything should be made as simple as possible, but no simpler." --Albert Einstein
- Real-World Impact:
- I believe meaningful research should solve pressing problems and contribute to real-world applications.
- Clarifying Core Problems:
- Identifying and understanding the true nature of the problem before initiating solutions, avoiding blind action driven by superficial observations.
