DIVERSITY STATEMENT
Our lab team is committed to providing an inclusive work space regardless of race, color, national origin, religion, disability, sex, gender identity, or sexual orientation.
At the same time, we recognize that there are barriers to underrepresented groups in higher education and STEM in particular. Therefore, we strive to actively recruit lab members from underrepresented groups; create equity; and promote diversity in research with the goal of enhancing scientific contribution from such groups and create an encouraging atmosphere of research collaborations.
