Hello,

I am writing to announce the 2013 Research Experience for Undergraduates (REU) Program in Computational Sensing and Medical Robotics at The Johns Hopkins University in the Computer Integrated Surgical Systems and Technology Engineering Research Center (CISST ERC) / Laboratory for Computational Sensing and Robotics (LCSR). The REU program is an intensive ten-week program of laboratory research and instruction. In the program, each REU student receives hands-on laboratory research experience under guidance from faculty and graduate student mentors. The students will also receive classes on ethics in research and technical communication. The students will have the opportunity to tour a local government laboratory and a private company. The students will be provided housing and a stipend of $4,500 for the 10-week period will be paid.

I would greatly appreciate, if you can pass on to your students the promotional flyer that I am sending with this communication. The deadline to apply is February 1, 2013. Your students can access our online application in the following link: - lcsr.jhu.edu/Education/REU around December 15, 2012.

I have also attached the flyer for the “Summer Research Expeditions” program at Johns Hopkins. The website for this program is available at cs.jhu.edu/sre

If your students have any questions, they can reach me at 410-516-6841 or email me at asampath@jhu.edu

Thank you very much.

Sincerely,

Anita Sampath
