Our Commitment to Equitable Excellence 

We at the Tarpeh Lab believe that all students, regardless of background, should have the resources, guidance, and support to excel in engineering and research. We are committed to sustaining a diverse and inclusive group where everyone feels seen, heard, and believed in. We engage in outreach activities as a team and have a democratic process for major group decisions, such as admitting students into the lab group. Learn more about the programs we participate in as a lab below.
