A close master-apprentice relationship between student researchers and faculty advisors helps you discover your potential for serious research and helps prepare you for graduate studies. There are many exciting research projects being carried out by faculty in the Computer Science Department. This is arranged individually between you and the faculty member.
Individual initiative is important in approaching faculty to ask about research opportunities.
The mentors can help you identify which faculty members are working in areas that are of interest to you. Here are a list of some professors in the Department of Computer Science that have indicated they are interested in discussing research possibilities with undergraduates. Parallel and distributed computing. Distributed algorithms, particularly for mobile ad hoc networks and for randomized distributed data structures. ACM Listing Internship Opportunities for Students CRA-W Distributed Mentor Program, Summer research opportunities for women undergrads.
