Bioinspired Robotics Research Experiences for Undergraduates
Interdisciplinary systems research internship
The Maryland Robotics Center, with support from the National Science Foundation, is offering exciting research opportunities for undergraduate students in the area of bioinspired robotics. Bioinspired robots—defined as robots that are inspired by natural systems such as insects, birds, mammals, and reptiles—have the potential to significantly enable or enhance capabilities in manufacturing, health care, reconnaissance, exploration, food safety, and search and rescue. Because of their unique design, bioinspired robotics offer a truly interdisciplinary systems research challenge that encompasses biology, materials, mechanical design, control, sensors and actuators, power, electronics, and computer science among other topics.
Program Goals
The Bioinspired Robotics REU Site aims to:
- Teach students about bioinspired robotics and the applicable technologies and applications
- Engage talented and diverse students in interdisciplinary research programs
- Prepare students for graduate school or research jobs in industry and labs
- Introduce undergraduates to team-based interdisciplinary research
- Build a strong community between undergraduates, graduate student mentors, and faculty
During the 10-week summer program, students will develop research projects, attend technical tutorial seminars, visit local government labs involved in bioinspired robotics research, attend professional and academic development seminars, and tour Maryland’s top-notch facilities supporting robotics research including the UMd FabLab and Neutral Bouyancy Research Facility. Lunch discussions will provide an informal setting for students and mentors to discuss technical and non-technical topics. The program culminates in student presentations on their summer research.
The program will run from June 5 through August 11, 2017
The deadline to apply is FEBRUARY 17, 2017
Benefits include:
- a $5,000 stipend for their summer work and funding is available for on-campus housing and travel support.
Suggested majors include (but are not limited to):
- Mechanical Engineering,
- Computer Science and Electrical Engineering,
- Bioengineering,
- Materials Science,
- Bioinformatics and
- Computational Biology
- Biological Sciences

Community-Driven Research Day provides an opportunity for community-based organizations and city agencies to have a greater role in the research process, by elevating their needs and identifying activities that would benefit from the support of researchers. This event helps match the skills of the local research community with community-defined research needs.
This year, Community-Driven Research Day will focus on five areas related to public health:
• Addiction and Overdose
• Environmental Challenges
• Obesity and the Food System
• Risks to Adolescent Health
• Violence
How does Community-Driven Research Day work?
Community projects selected to participate will each have a table to display information about their organization, projects, and research priorities. In “speed dating”-style, interested researchers will rotate throughout the room at prescribed times to learn more about organizations in their interest area and see if there are mutually beneficial opportunities for collaborating. Attendees will also have the opportunity to discuss collaborations during the networking session. Light refreshments will be served.
Funding Opportunity
The UHI will provide funds to community-university collaborations that result from participating in Community-Driven Research Day.
This is a great opportunity for students, faculty, community-based organizations, and city agencies, who would like to network and share their research with the community. If you have a research project that's related to one of the five categories or you have another great project, please apply to present.

An REU Site at Rutgers University-Newark that provides students with hands-on research experiences in dynamic urban environmental systems. The site takes advantage of a vigorous multidisciplinary effort that involves near surface geophysics, urban geochemistry and urban ecology in northern New Jersey and especially, the New Jersey Meadowlands. Each scholar will choose one area of specialization but the research and support activities will be integrated to show students:
- how their research experience relates to the whole urban research project,
- how their research affects real-life issues that affect them and their families and
- how they can pursue research careers stemming from this experience.
Research Areas (see the website for full project descriptions):
Near Surface Geophysics
The Near Surface Geophysics Group (NSGG) at Rutgers is engaged in research to develop emerging geophysical technologies for minimally invasive characterization and monitoring of urban environments.
Urban Geochemistry/Biogeochemistry
REU students will pursue research projects in the field of urban geochemistry/biogeochemistry in the polluted urban environment. One area of research focuses on the geochemical processes that control the fate of pollutants such as arsenic and chromium in soils and sediments including advanced spectroscopic tools to assess the mechanisms involved.
Function and Sustainability of Urban Biodiversity
This research concentrates on the structure and function of urban nature. REU teams will investigate whether the proposed causal linkage between biodiversity-ecosystem functioning- ecosystem services –human well-being is applicable to urban systems.
Polar Research
The primary goal of this project is to quantify atmospheric iron properties in the marine atmospheric boundary layer over the Western Antarctic Peninsula.
Dates:
The program will run from June 5 - July 28, 2017
The deadline for the program is February 20
Benefits include:
DUESS REU fellows will receive a $4,000 stipend and free housing at Rutgers University-Newark for the 8-week program (6/5-7/28/17).

Researcher of the Week: Gabrielle Salib
Undergraduate researchers explore their interests!
Meet Gabrielle,
She is an Interdisciplinary Studies major and an Meyerhoff Scholar. Her future goal is to persue her Ph.D. and to continue her career in research. She would like to improve upon our understanding of the interaction that children have with technology and how to design their technology to accordingly better that interaction. On her off time she is also involved with the Computer Science Education club and the Orthodox Christian group.
Gabrielle's research explores the possibilities of three-dimensional (3D) printing technology and it's possible uses in the educational settings within the traditional curriculum. As part of a longitudinal study, her research team will be conducting weekly 3D modeling and printing workshops at a selected Baltimore school. By observing and recording the students’ reactions, collaborations, and frustrations while learning 3D modeling and printing in this setting, we will be able to observe benefits and repercussions of 3D modeling and printing in an educational setting.

Training and Experimentation in Computational Biology
Interdisciplinary research program in computational biology
Title: Training and Experimentation in Computational Biology (TECBio): "Simulation and Visualization of Biological Systems at Multiple Scales"
TECBio: "Simulation and Visualization of Biological Systems at Multiple Scales" is an NSF-funded, 10-week, summer, REU program that provides a challenging graduate-level research experience in computational biology. In addition to performing cutting-edge research, TECBio students will also participate in other academic activities, such as classes, seminars, and discussions, while experiencing the various social and cultural activities available in Pittsburgh - America's most livable city.
Students will start their research immediately at the beginning of the TECBio program. Within the first two weeks, students will also attend lectures and participate in computer laboratory sessions that will give them exposure to and practical experience in a comprehensive and interdisciplinary breadth of topics. The final week will be devoted to student presentations. Weekly seminars and journal clubs will also be hosted.
The major focus of the TECBio REU @ Pitt is to train, prepare, and support the next generation of scientists, who will be among the leaders in the interdisciplinary fields of computational and systems biology and other emerging STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) fields, by offering a fun and challenging graduate-level research and training experience.
The program runs from May 22 - July 28, 2017
The deadline to apply is FEBRUARY 13
