Outreach

Inclusion

Our group actively contributes to the College’s commitment to creating a diverse environment and inclusive culture. We aspire to engage all members of our community irrespective of race, religion, color, gender, socioeconomic status, etc., and to meaningfully and equitably support them.

We believe that only by valuing and respecting the merits of diverse cultural backgrounds and identities, we are able to facilitate innovative and inclusive approaches to advance scientific breakthroughs, launch new technologies, and educate the next generation of scientists and engineers capable of addressing societal challenges.

We aim to contribute to greater equity and inclusivity in engineering research and industry by equipping our lab graduates with the knowledge and tools to be effective leaders and innovators.

In the community

Towards this goal and to effectively communicate our science to the broader public, our lab has been involved in a variety of outreach activities on campus and in the community. We look forward to engaging with people and organizations from our new location in the greater London area.
