3 Interdisciplinary Undergraduate Research Internships
Summer programs at The University of Rochester
The University of Rochester’s Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REU) programs provide women and underrepresented minority students pursuing careers in STEM with intensive mentored multidisciplinary research experiences. During a nine-week summer program, students are immersed in hands-on scientific research alongside experienced faculty and other researchers, participate in a series of professional development workshops, and attend seminars focused on research techniques, career exploration and graduate school admission.
There are 3 programs that students can choose to apply to:
- Advancing Human Health, From Nano to Network: This program provides an interdisciplinary framework for faculty and students to utilize hypothesis-driven research to advance human health.
- Nano-, Bio-, and Quantum Photonics: This program will engage participating students in the frontiers of photonics research in nanoscience, bioscience and quantum science while at the same time providing them with experiences to recognize the excellent career opportunities, both academic and industry based, available in photonics.
- Computational Methods for Understanding Music, Media, and Minds: Students will explore an exciting, interdisciplinary research area that combines machine learning, audio engineering, music theory, and cognitive science.
Full explanations for each program (and more detailed information) can be found on the REU website.
Benefits for participating in one of the programs include:
- a $4,500 stipend,
- travel to and from the program,
- housing, and
- meal plan
Students who are of sophomore or junior-class standing are encouraged to apply.
Application Deadline (for all 3 programs): FEB 15, 2018
If you have any questions about finding summer research or you need assistance with you application, please contact Dr. April Householder, aprilh@umbc.edu

Open to freshman, sophomores, and juniors.
Electrical & Computer Engineering CAT Vehicle REU
This research experience for undergraduates (REU) is engaged in the myriad of applications that are related to autonomous ground vehicles. Each summer, 10 NSF-funded undergraduate students participate in an immersive research experience, sitting side-by-side with graduate researchers and working on one of the most compelling and complex applications of today: autonomous systems.
If you have any questions about finding summer research or you need assistance with you application, please contact Dr. April Householder, aprilh@umbc.edu The University of Michigan’s Summer Enrichment Program in Health Management & Policy (UM SEP) provides students an opportunity to learn from administrators and policy makers in the health care field, under their direct supervision. In its 33rd consecutive year, the program now has over 650 alumni, with notable positions in hospital administration, government, policy, consulting, higher education, and research. Our program evaluations are consistently in the 95th percentile and higher. We are confident that through this experiential program, students will become familiar with health management and policy and consider it as a career option.
Program Dates: May 30 - July 27, 2018
Benefits:
- Stipend: The tax-free stipend of $3,000 is paid in three parts: at the beginning, middle, and end of the summer.
- Transportation: The UM SEP pays for students' round-trip travel from their home or school to Ann Arbor. The program also provides rental cars (and their fuel costs) for students to carpool to and from their internship sites every weekday.
- Housing: UM SEP students live together in a University of Michigan Residence Hall for the duration of the program. A Resident Assistant, typically a former SEP student who is entering the Health Management and Policy master's degree program at Michigan, provides professional, social, and emotional support.
- Food: Students receive $250 towards the cost of on-campus food during the program. Because of their work schedules, UM SEP participants cannot often eat in the dining halls on campus, but many nearby restaurants accept the provided "BlueBucks."
- GRE Course: The UM SEP provides a GRE course from Kaplan or Princeton Review taught just for UM SEP participants on Sundays throughout the summer. The program also pays for course materials.

Researcher of the Week: Zain Abidin
Biology Research on the Path to Medical School
Zain is a Biological Sciences major who will graduate in 2018. He is President of the Golden Key International Honor Society, has made the Dean’s List and President’s List multiple times, and the recipient of President’s Scholarship Award.
Title of yourresearch project: Novel Reporter
System To Quantify Missense Errors During Translation In Saccharomyces
cerevisiae. Translation is the process by which information from DNA is used to make proteins. We are studying proteins responsible for accuracy of the process of Translation.
Who is your mentor(s) for your project? How did you find your mentor? Why did you choose them? My mentor is Kartikeya Joshi
under the supervision of Philip Farabaugh, Department of Biological Sciences. Kartikeya Joshi was a grad TA in BIOL300L when I took it. After taking that lab, I became extremely interested in research and started asking different professors as well as friends who were working in labs. One of my friends was working under Kartikeya Joshi’s mentorship. After he graduated, he referred me to this lab. I also sent a formal request along with my resume, requesting Mr. Joshi and Dr. Farabaugh to allow me to give me the opportunity to work in the lab. After an interview I was accepted. I chose my mentor because I had already experienced his mentorship in BIOL300L as mentioned above. I was very impressed and wanted to learn more from him.
How did you become interested in this project? The processes that we are researching in this project are very important for the healthy development of human cells. Although mostly overlooked or taken for granted, the process of Translation is essential for the proper functioning of every system, organ and even every cell in our body. The idea that I can research and report something new about this vital process was very appealing to me. Additionally, I had studied about this process for many years in different courses. Being able to practically observe it and study it up close was really like a dream come true.
What has been the hardest part about your research/what was the most unexpected thing about being a researcher? The most unexpected
thing about my research was the uncertainty of results. Research is dynamic
process. While one method may work for researching one process in one organism, it may not work the same way for another process in another organism. The frequent application of “trial and Error” is something that was quite
unexpected.
What has been the most rewarding part? There is an infinite
amount of scientific knowledge available to us. The realization that my research was providing new knowledge, new facts and new insights into cellular processes that have never been known before has been most rewarding.
How will you disseminate your research? I have presented my
research at Undergraduate Research and Creative Achievement Day (URCAD), Summer Undergraduate Research Fest (SURF) and Undergraduate Research Symposium. We are trying to publish a paper next year reporting the research as well.
What is your advice to other students about getting involved in research? I would advise students to get involved as early as possible, learn from your mistakes and never give up. Research is a long process that requires an amazing amount of patience and perseverance. But the results are just as rewarding, if not more.
What are your career goals? I hope to go to medical school and study Ophthalmology. I intend to practice as well as get involved with clinical research.
Have mentored research and want to be featured as a Researcher of the Week? Contact aprilh@umbc.edu.
