    <p>If you have good programming skills and are looking for an interesting alternative to the usual summer internship, you might check out the <a href="https://developers.google.com/open-source/soc/" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">Google Summer of Code</a> program. It pays student developers $5000 stipends to write code for various open source projects over the summer. Over the past eight years, it has brought together over 6,000 students with over 300 open source projects to create millions of lines of code.</p>
    <p>Students who are accepted into the program will put the skills they have learned to good use by working remotely on an actual software project over the summer. Students are paired with mentors to help address technical questions and concerns throughout the course of the project. With the knowledge and hands-on experience students gain during the summer they strengthen their future employment opportunities in fields related to their academic pursuits.</p>
    <p>Students should submit applications via the <a href="http://www.google-melange.com/gsoc/homepage/google/gsoc2013" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">Google Summer of Code 2013</a> site by May 3. Google says that that the best applications they receive are from students who took the time to interact with one of the participating <a href="http://www.google-melange.com/gsoc/program/accepted_orgs/google/gsoc2013" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">mentoring organizations</a> and discuss their ideas before submitting an application.

<Title>Intern of the week: Molissa Udevitz for Natural Resources</Title>
<Tagline>Learn about Molissa's experience in Alaska!</Tagline>
<Body>
<![CDATA[
    <div class="html-content">
    <p><span><strong>Name: </strong> Molissa Udevitz</span></p>
    <p><span><strong>Internship, Co-op or Research Site:</strong>  Alaska Department of Natural Resources Division of Forestry</span></p>
    <p><span><strong>Location of the Organization (City, State): </strong> Palmer, Alaska</span></p>
    <p><span><strong>Title of Your Position:</strong>  Squad Leader Intern II</span></p>
    <p><span><strong>Major(s)/Minor(s): </strong> Double Major - Environmental Studies and Dance</span></p>
    <span><strong>Expected Graduation Date (Month &amp; Year):</strong>  May 2015</span><br><br><em><strong><br>1. </strong></em><span><em><strong>Briefly describe your internship, co-op, research or service-learning 
    position/assignment, including your day-to-day tasks and 
    responsibilities.<br></strong></em></span><br><span><span>I work with a crew of nine other interns on various natural resource 
    management projects.  We spend each day out in the field working on 
    projects such as invasive plant surveys and removal, stream bank 
    restoration, and fuels reduction.  As one of two Squad Bosses, I help 
    supervise other crew members and projects as well as assist with 
    communication between our intern supervisor and the crew.</span><em><strong><span><br><br><em><strong>2. </strong></em></span></strong></em></span><span><em><strong><span><em><strong><span>What have you enjoyed the most about your position or organization/company and what have you found most challenging?<br></span></strong></em></span></strong></em></span><br><span><span><span><span>The best part of my internship is that I get to work on a variety of 
    projects and meet different professionals while completing these 
    projects.  I have had the opportunity to meet, work with, and ask 
    questions of professionals who work for both nonprofits and the public 
    sector in natural resource management related jobs.</span></span></span><em><strong><span><em><strong><span></span></strong></em></span></strong></em></span><span><em><strong><span><em><strong><span><span><br><br></span></span></strong></em></span></strong></em><span><span><span>The most challenging part of my internship is identifying with my fellow crew members.  As the only college student on the crew, I have different priorities and goals than the other interns.  However, spending time with people unfamiliar to the college environment has exposed me to a new perspective.</span></span></span><em><strong><span><em><strong><span><span><br><br></span></span></strong></em></span></strong><strong><span><span><span>3. </span></span></span></strong></em></span><span><span><span><span><em><strong><span>What have you gained from your experience that you could not have gained from another summer activity?<br></span></strong></em></span></span></span></span><br><span><span><span><span><span><span>I am fortunate my internship is designed to be educational for interns, 
    and I don’t think another summer opportunity would have provided me with
     the same variety of experiences as this internship has.  Where else 
    could I have given a presentation on invasive plants to youth, learned 
    about forestry inventory and timber sales, attended a community 
    weed-pull event, become wildland fire-fighter certified, and gained 
    leadership experience as a Squad Boss?!</span></span><em><strong><span><span><br><br></span></span></strong><strong><span><span>4. </span></span></strong></em></span></span></span></span><span><span><span><span><span><span><em><strong><span>How do you see your summer work as meaningful? Has it given you a chance to
     work on issues or with communities that matter to you?<br></span></strong></em></span></span></span></span></span></span><br><span><span><span><span><span><span><span><span>My summer work has been meaningful because the projects our crew completed
     will have a lasting positive impact on the environment.  For example, 
    by restoring stream banks, we improved salmon access to spawning 
    grounds.  Some of our other projects, such as making a trail from a 
    campground to a river handicap accessible, will allow people to further 
    enjoy nature for years to come.</span></span><em><strong><span><span><br><br></span></span></strong><strong><span><span>5. </span></span></strong></em></span></span></span></span></span></span><span><span><span><span><span><span><span><span><em><strong><span>How has your summer experience shaped the way you think about your power to
     impact the world? This might involve skills you’ve gained, information 
    you’ve learned, mentors you’ve connected with, or projects you’ve 
    completed.<br></span></strong></em></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span><br><span><span><span><span><span><span><span><span><span>Before this summer, I knew I wanted to help solve some of the environmental challenges our world faces, but these problems often seem insurmountable.  I wasn’t sure if I would be qualified or capable enough to do this.  This internship introduced me to people who are working to help the environment one project at a time.  I’ve realized that I don’t need to come up with a grand solution; I can join this network of people, and all our individual projects will add up to have a large, positive impact on the environment.</span><em><strong><span><br></span></strong></em></span></span></span></span><em><strong><span><span><br></span></span></strong></em></span></span></span><em><strong><span><em><strong><span><span><br></span></span></strong></em><br></span></strong></em><br><br></span>

    <p>Heterogeneous architectures can be problematic to program on, particularly when trying to schedule tasks on all available compute resources, overlapping PCI express transfers, and managing the limited memory available on the architectures. In this thesis we propose a workflow system that is capable of scheduling on all available compute resources, overlaps PCI express transfers, and manages the limited memory. A procedure for creating the workflow system is described and two case studies are analyzed.</p>
    <ul>
    <li>Image Stitching, which implements the workflow system and achieves two orders of magnitude speedup over an image stitching plugin found in the popular Fiji ImageJ application. Implementing the image stitching algorithm without the workflow system yielded only one order of magnitude speedup over the image stitching plugin.</li>
    <li>Out of Core LU Decomposition, which does not implement the workflow system. This case study demonstrates the impact of the PCI express on a problem with a large number of dependencies. A proposed workflow system for this algorithm is provided in Future Work.</li>
    </ul>
    <p>Using the workflow system, programmers have a method for scheduling any algorithm on all available compute resources and is capable of hiding the I/O impact by overlapping computation with I/O.</p>

    <p>Nature offers us different kinds of atoms, but it takes human intelligence to put them together in an elegant way in order to realize functional structures not found in nature. III-V semiconductors are made of atoms from column III (B, Al, Ga, In, Tl) and column V (N, As, P, Sb, Bi) of the periodic table, and constitute a particularly rich variety of compounds with many useful optical and electronic properties. Guided by highly accurate simulations of the electronic structure, modern semiconductor optoelectronic devices are literally made atom by atom using advanced growth technology such as Molecular Beam Epitaxy (MBE) and Metal Organic Chemical Vapor Deposition (MOCVD). Recent breakthroughs have brought quantum engineering to an unprecedented level, creating light detectors and emitters over an extremely wide spectral range from 0.2 µm to 300 µm. Nitrogen serves as the best column V element for the short wavelength side of the electromagnetic spectrum, where we have demonstrated III-nitride light emitting diodes and photo detectors in the deep ultraviolet to visible wavelengths. In the infrared, III-V compounds using phosphorus, arsenic, or antimony from column V with indium, gallium, aluminum, or thallium from column III can create lasers and detectors based on quantum-dot (QD) or type-II superlattice (T2SL). These are fast becoming the choice of technology in crucial applications such as environmental monitoring and space exploration. Last but not least, on the far-infrared end of the electromagnetic spectrum known as the terahertz (THz) region, III-V semiconductors offer a unique solution of generating THz waves in a compact device at room temperature. Continued effort is being devoted to all of the above areas with the intention of developing smart technologies which meet the current challenges in environment, health, security, and energy. This talk will highlight contributions to the world of III-V semiconductor nano-scale optoelectronic devices from deep UV to THz.</p>
    <p>Dr. Manijeh Razeghi received the Doctorat d'État es Sciences Physiques from the Université de Paris in 1980. After heading the Exploratory Materials Lab at Thomson-CSF (France), she joined Northwestern University in Evanston, IL, in the fall of 1991 as the Director of the Center for Quantum Devices, where she created undergraduate and graduate programs in solid-state engineering. Dr. Razeghi pioneered the development and implementation of major modern epitaxial techniques such as MOCVD, VPE, gas MBE, and MOMBE for the growth of entire compositional ranges of III-V compound semiconductors. She is on the editorial board of journals such as the Journal of Nanotechnology and the Journal of Nanoscience and Nanotechnology, and is an Associate Editor of the Opto-Electronics Review.

<Title>Participate in the Start-up Crawl- Limited RSVPs Open</Title>
<Tagline>Open to Seniors, Grad Students, and Recent Grads</Tagline>
<Body>
<![CDATA[
    <div class="html-content">Get ready for a Startup Crawl! Collegetown is partnering with Betamore, 
    the recently-opened urban campus for technology and entrepreneurship in 
    Federal Hill on an event for new (or soon-to-be) college grads looking 
    for opportunities with early-stage companies.  Most of these companies 
    are looking for computer science and marketing help, but are open to 
    talking with anyone interested in learning more.  <br>
    <br>
    Betamore is a very hip space with young and dynamic entrepreneurs — 
    students will love it.  <strong>Spaces are limited!</strong><br>
    <br>
    <br>
    <strong>Startup Crawl<br>
    Thursday May 2, 6 – 9pm<br>
    <a href="http://betamore-startupcrawl-es2005.eventbrite.com/?rank=1" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">http://betamore-startupcrawl-es2005.eventbrite.com/?rank=1</a></strong><br>
    <br>
    Are you a college senior recent graduate looking to enter the startup 
    market through an internship or job? Are you a startup looking for the 
    next best thing? Join us here at Betamore for our first Startup Crawl, 
    an event that puts talented college and graduate students in the same 
    room with the startup / tech community to learn the industry, create 
    beneficial connections and discover what the Baltimore Tech community 
    has to offer.<br>
    <br>
    Shake a few hands, have a couple beers, and experience how fun working 
    for a startup can be. This event is exclusive to students and recent 
    grads (must be less than one year out of school).<br>
     <br>
    Students, come prepared.<br>
    We'll kick off the event with name badge registration and some opening 
    remarks from Betamore, overviewing our campus and the Baltimore Tech 
    community.<br>
    Bring 15-20 copies of your Resume to distribute.<br>
    No need for three piece suits and ties but do look presentable.</div>
