We have ardently endeavored to groom Scholars into committed academicians and scientists who are capable of conducting good, independent research in a responsible and ethical manner.

We work hard to balance ‘academic rigor’ and ‘practical relevance’ in our research. Our focus has always been on a cross-disciplinary knowledge flow. Our scholars are encouraged to attain globally accepted standards in their research.
