Diversity & Inclusion

I am committed to building inclusive, equitable, and supportive environments in research, teaching, and collaboration. Diversity in background, identity, and perspective empowers better science and more responsible technology.

Commitment

  • Foster a respectful culture that values equity, accessibility, and psychological safety.
  • Promote transparent processes in supervision, authorship, and evaluation.
  • Encourage participation across cultures, disciplines, and career stages.

Inclusive Mentoring

  • Co-create expectations with mentees, including goals, meeting cadence, and feedback style.
  • Offer flexible support (asynchronous notes, recorded walk-throughs, written rubrics).
  • Credit mentees’ intellectual contributions; ensure visibility in talks and reports.

Equitable Authorship & Credit

  • Use contribution statements (e.g., CRediT taxonomy) to clarify roles early.
  • Avoid honorary/ghost authorship; review order and responsibilities before submission.
  • Share data curation, engineering, and evaluation credit alongside writing and analysis.

Open Science & Accessibility

  • Release artifacts (code, data, protocols) when feasible, with clear licensing and READMEs.
  • Provide accessible formats (alt-text, captions, color-blind-safe figures, high-contrast slides).
  • Use reproducible workflows (version control, seeds, environment files, data provenance).

Community & Service

  • Volunteer for diverse review panels and outreach to broaden participation.
  • Highlight contributions from underrepresented groups in talks and syllabi.
  • Support family-friendly practices (recordings, remote options, flexible deadlines).

Reporting & Code of Conduct

Respectful, harassment-free collaboration is non-negotiable. If you experience or witness inappropriate behavior, please reach out to me or follow institutional reporting channels. I will treat concerns seriously and confidentially and will align responses with university policies.
