The Department of Computer Science and the Center of Imaging and Optics at Montclair State University are pleased to organize a 8 week intensive undergraduate research program where students will work individually  and collaboratively on a wide variety of imaging and computer vision problems benefiting from a group of experienced research mentors. In 2008, the REU site will take place between June 22 and August 15. Four faculty mentors from within the CS department will provide supervision. 

Here are some highlights:

DEADLINE FOR APPLICATION: MARCH 20, 2008

SUPPORT: The students will live and work in campus for the project period and will be compensated for their participation with a stipend of $3296. In addition, their lodging in campus will be paid and a daily meal allowance will be provided. Travel to and from Montclair are also covered (up to $500). 

ELIGIBILITY: The program is open to computing related majors with at least one year of courses taken within the program of study. In our understanding, computing related areas include but are not limited to computer science, computational science, computer engineering, information technology, information systems, bioinformatics, electrical engineering, physics or mathematics.  The students are also expected to know how to program in at least one high level language such as but not limiting to C, C++, or Java. 

Eight positions are available each year. One of the students will play the role of peer mentor / student assistant and will start work in March 2008 (with additional compensation).

Funding is limited to United States citizens or US permanent residents. Members of the underrepresented groups are particularly invited to apply.

SPONSOR:  This project is jointly funded by the National Science Foundation’s Research Experience for Undergraduates and the Department of Defense’s Assure programs.
