Diversity and Inclusion
POETS’ vision is to be the pre-eminent research and education organization driving the integrated, optimized, concurrent movement of thermal and electrical power in tightly constrained mobile environments. In order to achieve this goal, supporting and enhancing diversity and inclusivity within our center is essential. Diverse research groups have been shown to have a positive effect on innovation, creativity, problem solving, and decision making in a multitude of sectors including STEM fields. Moreover, to ensure that our diverse members are working optimally together, an inclusive environment needs to be present where all members feel supported and valued.
