Imaging in the Physical Sciences: Research Experiences for Undergraduates

Imaging in the Physical Sciences: Research Experiences for Undergraduates The NSF REU Program Imaging in the Physical Sciences (IPS) is a new program proposed by the Chester F.

THE IPS REU program will introduce young scientists to research in a highly interdisciplinary environment, where cross-disciplinary team problem solving is the norm. Carlson Center for Imaging Science (CIS) at the Rochester Institute of Technology (RIT). CIS is a highly interdisciplinary University Research and Education Center, dedicated to pushing the frontiers of imaging in all its forms and us

es. The IPS REU has the following seven specific goals: (i) Involve undergraduates from a wide range of host institution type, gender, and ethnicities in a coherent and extendable (multi-year) research experience, starting after their freshman or sophomore years; (ii) Involve undergraduates originating from a specific science or engineering major in a highly interdisciplinary research environment, engaging them to work in teams across traditional disciplinary boundaries in problem-based research; (iii) Expose students to the emerging field of imaging science and its many and varied application areas; (iv) Encourage students to pursue graduate studies in STEM; (v) Assist students in the dissemination of their research; (vi) Create an ongoing research incubator environment for the students, including feedback from advisory scientist external to RIT, mentoring in public speaking, scientific writing, and social engagement; (vii) Assess the implementation and impact of our REU Program.

Meet CT Smith, Summer 2013 visiting student from the University of Arizona, and learn about his projects in the LAMA and Insight Labs.

Carter-Thaxton Smith is a junior at the University of Arizona studying astronomy and physics. He has been doing amateur astronomy and outreach for over ten years with the Tucson Amateur Astronomy Association and is as passionate about sharing astronomy with others as he is about learning it himself.
