Research Group Community Goals

The Azari Research Group (ARG) aims to embrace and support a community of researchers to pursue the following goals.

Seek Truth

• We create and share work that accurately represents our knowledge and our process.
• We create and share work that consists of our best efforts.
• We recognize the contributions of others in the pursuit of knowledge.
• We work to increase our, and humanity’s, understanding of the natural environment including space.

Embrace Curiosity

• We bring intellectual curiosity to our interactions.
• We ask questions to increase our understanding as lifelong learners.
• We are excited to collaborate and share knowledge across domains.

Expand our Perspective

• We value the perspectives and knowledge of individuals who have life experiences and identities different from our own.
• We seek to increase our awareness of historic, and present day, exclusion of communities and their contributions from knowledge sharing.
• We strive to ameliorate the impact of historic exclusion of communities, and their knowledge contributions, from our work.

Value Ourselves, Humanity, and the Natural World

• We recognize the importance of planned rest when seeking and advancing knowledge.
• We appreciate the intangible benefits of human to human, and human to natural world(s) interaction when pursuing automated methods and artificial intelligence.
• We iterate on these goals regularly and support each other in enabling this vision as an evolving community of knowledge seekers.
