I²Lab is a place where people support one another, share ideas, and build things that matter. We’re delighted to have you join us! Whether you’re just starting or already deep into your thesis, I’d love to sprinkle some thoughts with you. Think of these principles as the compass that guides how we team up and keep getting better, one step at a time.

To establish a strong foundation for your research, start by reading journal articles from the top 10% or, at the very least, 25% of your field that have been published in the last two to three years. Prioritize respected publishers like Elsevier, Springer, ASCE, arXiv, or IEEE. These papers not only show you how experienced researchers frame their questions but also help you develop a better sense of what matters in your discipline. On the other hand, it’s best to avoid casual reads like personal blogs or unverified online posts, as they often miss the depth and accuracy you’ll need.
Try to gather a strong mix of at least 20 well-written papers on your topic. This will help you build a clearer picture of the field. As you conduct your research, jot down what catches your attention. You may begin to notice unexpected connections and patterns emerging.
More importantly, talk about what you are reading. Bring it up during meetings. Share what you found interesting or confusing. This is how ideas evolve, and your observations might help others see things in a new way.
Our lab is a shared space, so let’s all work together to keep it clean and organized. Please clean up after yourself, keep the volume low, and don’t turn your desk into a storage locker. We all need our workspace and equipment to be available to everyone who needs them. If you’re not around or not using your space for a while, we may need to reassign it to someone who needs it more urgently.
Communication is super important! When composing emails, particularly to external recipients or your advisor, ensure clarity and maintain a respectful tone. Don’t feel like you have to be super formal, just thoughtful and professional. These little things show that you care and that the whole team cares.
It’s great to start thinking about your research direction early. Feel free to come up with your own topic ideas and chat them over with me. But remember, the final decision needs to align with the lab’s research goals, what we have available, and any potential industry collaborations. When choosing a research topic, it’s important to strike a balance between your curiosity and what’s practical and relevant to our lab’s focus. We’ll work together to find a direction that works for both you and the team.
You don’t have to be a coding expert, but it’s worth getting familiar with tools that can support your work. ChatGPT and GitHub Copilot, for instance, can expedite the writing or brainstorming process. The more you use them, the easier they become. Software like EndNote, Mendeley, and Word’s formatting features might seem minor, but they can save time and make your writing more polished.
When you take on a task, make sure to follow through. No disappearing acts, no endless delays. Just give it your all and complete it to the best of your ability. Before meetings, take a few minutes to prepare a summary of what you’ve done, what you plan to do next, and any questions you have. After the meeting, send a quick recap email to keep things moving forward.
You’re not expected to have all the answers right away. Take your time to explore and learn. Research has its ups and downs, and it’s okay if it feels unpredictable at times. It’s normal to hit a rough patch and change direction. That’s often when the most surprising epiphanies show up. That’s all part of the adventure! The real goal is to build your ability to think clearly and carefully, not just to get things done quickly.
This lab is focused entirely on academic research. While you are affiliated with the group, your time here should be dedicated to your research work. Activities related to technician licensing or professional certification are not allowed during your active research period. We’re all about real research that requires curiosity, persistence, and creativity. If you’re just looking to meet basic requirements, this might not be the best fit for you.
