Virtual Reality Design for Science student projects, 12-1:30 Wed. 5/10, ITE 201b

 

Everyone is invited to see presentations and demonstrations of  six class projects done by the 17 students in CMSC 491/691, Virtual Reality Design for Science, taught by CSEE Professor Jian Chen this spring.  The demonstrations and presentations will take place 12:00-1:30pm Wednesday, 10 May 2017 in the π² Immersive Hybrid Reality Lab located in room 201b in the ITE building. Join us in this new adventure to explore ideas and foster interaction and interdisciplinary science. Pizza will be provided.

Support for this new course was provided by an award from the UMBC Hrabowski Fund for Innovation to CSEE Professors Jian Chen, Marc Olano and Adam Bargteil.  The project-oriented class introduces students to the use of hybrid reality displays, 3D modeling, visualization and fabrication to conduct and analyze scientific research. The new course embraces the university’s goal of advancing interdisciplinary and multidisciplinary research activity.

The UMBC π² Immersive Hybrid Reality Lab is funded by a $360,000 NSF award, with additional support from Next Century Corporation. In the lab, users wear 3D glasses with sensors attached to them and operate handheld controls that allow them to sensorially immerse themselves in data, which appears on dozens of high-resolution screens that are precisely aligned to work together. Users control the data by manipulating it in the space around them. The user’s body is fairly stationary, but the brain thinks the body is moving within the virtual world. The lab brings together tools “that will allow humans and the computer to augment each other,” notes Dr. Chen.

Daniel is a Chemical Engineering major, a Meyerhoff Scholar, and a member of the Honors College who has earned a 4.0 GPA and a Spanish certificate at UMBC. He is also a recipient of a Goldwater Scholarship.

During his time as a student, Daniel founded a UMBC chapter of the Society for Hispanic Professional Engineers that has provided a supportive community for Latino/a students. He also co-founded Achievement and Inspiration through Mentorship (AIM), which develops East Baltimore middle school students and their mentors both academically and personally. 

Daniel is a first generation college student who has done research in the laboratory of Dr. Lee Blaney, and in laboratories at the University of California, Berkeley, California Institute of Technology, and the University of Michigan. Daniel's passion is working on the inequality of resource accessibility in the world. Specifically he plans to be part of the solutions needed to provide safe water to the hundreds of millions of individuals across the globe presently without it on a daily basis. To that end, Daniel will pursue his Ph.D. in environmental engineering at the University of California, Berkeley.

Name:Ankit Monga

Internship, Co-op or Research Site:1776

Position Title: Operations Intern          

Major: Information Systems

Tell us about your internship, co-op, or research opportunity, including your day-to-day responsibilities.

On a daily basis i'm responsible for making sure the whole 1776 campus is clean and operating at its full potential. This responsibility ranges from making sure the kitchen is fully stocked with the right materials to working with the CEO, Evan Burfield, to make sure important documents are prepared the correct way to help companies advance into rounds of seed funds. I'm also responsible of projects that I'm given which can range from help desk tickets on some weeks to using excel to document sales for the DC region of the company.

Describe the process of obtaining your internship, research, or co-op opportunity.

I obtained my internship through networking with a family friend who had previously interned with 1776.


What have you enjoyed the most about your position or organization/company?

I enjoy that i'm doing vastly different projects so that I can get a wide range of experience in different things.


What advice would you give to another student who is seeking an internship or similar experience?

Network with any family and friends to help get leads on jobs or internship. Also use the resources we are given at UMBC such as UMBCworks and the job fairs.

Please provide a short reflection or quote about what you liked most about your position.

My ability to get experience through this internship is very important to me since it is helping me decide what I want to do with my career after college.
