ReRout Lab: Undergrad Research Opportunity

ReRout Lab, the research group led by Dr. Christopher Stewart, is looking to increase undergraduate involvement in research. Are you interested in drones, cloud computing, data analytics, deep learning or STEM education? If yes, consider attending our group meetings and doing a report on a published paper in your area of interest. You will get paid for attending meetings, studying published work and learning about your passion.

You will need to attend our group meetings and select a paper to present (examples are listed below). You will work with Dr. Stewart and a PhD student to prepare a presentation. Our meetings are Wednesdays from 2:00 p.m. to 3:30 p.m. in DL 698. It is mandatory that you attend group meetings though arriving late or leaving earlier can be allowed. You will get paid for 15 hours of work across semester (attending at least 5 meetings, preparing a presentation and presenting at another meeting). You will be paid at the rate of $10/hr. We have some flexibility to increase pay if students select challenging papers for presentation or achieve stellar attendance and participation.
