Lab Culture and Expectations

At The Srivastava Lab, we are deeply committed to fostering a diverse, inclusive, and respectful environment for all our researchers. We expect every team member to actively contribute to maintaining this atmosphere through their actions and interactions. Together, we can create a supportive and collaborative lab where everyone feels valued and empowered.


At The Srivastava Lab, we strongly believe that the ability of someone to do research doesn't depend on their religion, skin color, disability, or gender. Furthermore, we strongly believe that someone’s passion for science is a more important metric than someone having scientific experience.

At The Srivastava Lab, as a team, we aim to measure our scientific impact not only by the scientific challenges we explore or the technological products we invent but also by the scientific and industrial careers we can cultivate.

At The Srivastava Lab, we focus on maintaining a healthy work-life balance to preserve enthusiasm and productivity. We encourage a balanced approach that allows for dedicated time to both scientific work and personal interests.
