  • Applications are reviewed and interviewed on an ongoing basis. Please understand that due to the high volume of emails received from potential students, it is regrettable that I am unable to respond to each one individually. Only candidates selected for an interview will be contacted; there is no need to follow up or send reminders. Selected applicants should expect to receive communication within a week. If you do not hear from us within that timeframe, we encourage you to continue with your application and pursue other opportunities.

  • Our mission is to foster an equitable, diverse, and inclusive community. While we encourage all qualified applicants to apply, we especially encourage individuals from traditionally underrepresented groups in engineering and other marginalized communities to submit their applications. We are dedicated to hiring individuals who share our commitment to equity, diversity, and inclusivity.
