About Us

REU Expeditions

The overall goal of most REU Expenditions projects is to acquire higher resolution images below the skin. Different groups are taking different approaches to this. Undergraduate students are actively participating in various research projects, learning the latest approaches, and gaining first-hand experience in research



Collaboration

Students work in pairs and are mentored by graduate students (primarily PhD), working with Dr. Ashutosh Sabharwal and Dr. Ashok Veeraraghavan in the scalable health/computational imaging labs.

HIGHLIGHTS



Standalone project

Students are expected to complete a standalone project over the course of the summer (such as a simulation framework or machine learning package).



Knowledge & experience

The REU project offers them technical knowledge, experience in how research is conducted at the graduate level, as well as a project that they can describe in future job interviews.
