Diversity, Equity and Inclusion
At Stanford Engineering, we're dedicated to embracing and supporting our dynamic community — faculty, students, postdoctoral scholars and staff. We cultivate an environment that welcomes and validates all perspectives and beliefs. This helps us advance our missions of research and education to create a better world.

My group is pretty diverse, and when students are having a hard time, I tell them to use the resources around them ... focus on the people who want them to succeed, and speak their minds even when it goes against the grain because I want them to express themselves fully in the way that I was able to. I walk them to the window, and I tell them to look at the view, and I say, “You made it. You are here. You belong."

"Now that I have a lab of my own at Stanford, one of my goals is to give new students hands-on experience and confidence in doing research, so they can see the possibilities available to them. I’m especially interested in giving undergraduates that opportunity while training more senior students and postdocs, so they can participate in discovering something new. As a young student, something like that can change your life."

"I always advise students and young faculty to find mentors. They don’t have to be formal relationships and you don’t have to limit yourself to a small number of helpful people. Most people love to be asked for their advice and they’re usually happy to give it. You can develop the relationship from there."
