Undergraduate Research
Undergraduate research opportunities are available and encouraged for those CSE/CIS undergraduates with high academic standing and an interest to participate in active CSE research projects. Students of junior and senior standing are typically most qualified and desired, but advanced sophomore and freshman students will also be considered.

You will need to choose up to 3 faculty members that best relate to your research interest (a faculty directory and research can be found here). Your application will be sent automatically to your selected faculty. If there is interest and availability with any of the selected faculty, they will respond to you to engage you further.
Also, note that the College of Engineering has an Undergraduate Student Research Placement Tool that you may find useful when searching for a research position:
Prof. Jim Davis is the Undergraduate Research Coordinator for the CSE department. Please email him if you have any questions regarding getting involved in CSE undergraduate research.

[Position in Physics]
The project involves development of a real-time bacteria tracking system. The bacteria we are investigating are special in that they are magnetic - a feature that allows their remote control through modest magnetic fields. Previous work has been completed in C# and Python, but the lab is open to considering new tools/languages that may suit better. Additional work is needed to develop and interface the real-time tracking system with an existing (actively developed) micro-robotics manipulation algorithm. Any student with a background in image processing and computer vision and a strong work ethic with a willingness to learn new things will be strongly considered.
