The EDGE Lab conducts research in the intersections of
Engineering, Design &
Global Equity
In the EDGE Lab, our mission is to apply design to improve global equity and global health, and to study ways to improve how design is carried out and conducted. We aim to incorporate social, environmental, contextual, and historical factors into design processes, to investigate the impacts of design processes, and to engage with people and stakeholders throughout all phases of our research. Through our engineering and design research, we seek to shape a more just and equitable world.
