The SciGPU collaborators welcomed four students who came to Harvard for NSF-funded Research Experiences for Undergraduates during summer 2009: Dominik Gothe (University of South Carolina; astronomy), Matthias Lee (Wentworth Institute; time series analysis), Beatrice Perez (University of Puerto Rico; quantum chemistry), and Bo Wang (University of Pittsburgh; neuroscience). The SciGPU REU students were among the students coming to the Harvard School of Engineering and Applied Sciences to study challenges from drug delivery to nanoscale phenomena.
Each student made a presentation on the summer work; slides are posted on this site.
Dominik worked with Lincoln Greenhill, Steven Ord, and the IIC’s Richard Edgar on wide-field resampling of radio-astronomical images. Matthias worked with Lincoln and the Time Series Center’s Pavlos Protopapas on similarity search of time series. Beatrice worked with Alan Aspuru-Guzik and sciGPU’s Mark Watson on quantum simluations, while Bo Wang worked with Hanspeter Pfister, Won-Ki Jeong, and sciGPU’s Kevin Dale on visualization problems.
