Fifteen multidisciplinary research projects are available this summer
for UCI undergraduate students who want the opportunity to gain hands-on
experience in research related to IT. Student applications are now being
accepted; the deadline for applications is April 6.

The Summer Undergraduate Research Fellowship in Information Technology
(SURF-IT), a collaboration between Calit2 and the Undergraduate Research
Opportunities Program (UROP), provides a unique 10-week summer research
opportunity for UCI undergraduates to become immersed in IT-related
research and applications.   Student fellows will receive a stipend of
$3,500.

Under the personal guidance of a UCI faculty mentor, students will gain
first-hand experience and training in state-of-the-art facilities and
techniques. A series of seminars will provide opportunities to build
knowledge and enhance dialogue about telecommunications and information
technology systems and applications. At the conclusion of the program,
students will be prepared to share their research accomplishments by
presenting their findings at the SURF-IT Poster Session and Closing
Reception.

This program is designed to help students develop the knowledge and
skills that will propel them into graduate studies or careers in the
various multidisciplinary fields of telecommunications and information
technology. 

The research topics cover a wide range - for example, tracking stem
cells, designing better software-defined radio, and improving modes of
human-computer interaction.  For a full list of available projects,
