Sensor Aided Vigilance

Summer Undergraduate Research Experience

separator

We are offering a new program during the summer of 2007.  This program is a collaborative research effort between Wright State University, the Air Force Research Laboratory, several companies and will be located in the Tec^Edge facility at the Wright Brothers Institute next to Wright Patterson Air force Base.  Click here to download a pdf flyer about the program. 

·        Download a Word or pdf application.  For full consideration, all application materials should be received by May 11, 2007.

·        This will be a 10 week interdisciplinary program to work in the area of sensors (radar, infrared and video cameras, acoustic arrays,…) and sensor fusion.  The general theme is Sensor Aided Vigilance (SAVig).  This will involve a combination of basic research into sensor phenomena as well as applied research in security and triage applications using remote sensing techniques.

·        All participants (approximately six through this program) will work with other researchers (AFRL scientists, WSU faculty and students) in a collaborative research environment at the Wright Brothers Institute Innovation and Collaboration Center located next to Wright Patterson Air Force Base.   This will be a unique opportunity to work with WSU faculty, Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL) Scientists and Engineers, Industry Scientists and Engineers as well as other graduate and undergraduate students.  A variety of disciplines from physics, electrical engineering, computer engineering, mathematics, computer science, and human factors engineering (to name a few) will be working on common problems.

·        A research scholarship/stipend of $4,000, a travel allowance and housing in a WSU apartment are provided by the program. 

·        Program dates: June 11 – August 17, 2007.

·        Participants must be US Citizens and pursuing and undergraduate degree in physics, math, engineering, or computer science (or a closely related field to the above).
