The UMBC Review is a journal for undergraduate research done at UMBC. CMSC and CMPE majors who have recently finished a research project or paper or plan to do so before the fall should consider submitting it for volume 15, which will be published next April. The Review publishes papers in all disciplines, including the computing sciences.

Papers may be submitted at any time between now and 13 September 2013 for consideration in the next volume. Students graduating this spring or summer are eligible to submit papers on work completed as an undergraduate. See the table of contents of the current issue to get an idea of the range and length of published papers.

If you are interested, fill out this online form to get additional information.

Congratulations to Omar Shehab (CS Ph.D.), who has been awarded two NSF travel grants to attend research conferences this June.

First, Omar has received an NSF travel grant to attend the IEEE Conference on Computational Complexity. The conference celebrates research in all areas of computation complexity theory, taking a look at the absolute and relative power of computational models under resource constraints. Specific topics include probalistic and interactive proof systems, proof complexity, and descriptive complexity. The conference will be held in Palo Alto California, June 5-7.

Omar has also received an NSF travel grant to attend the 45^th ACM Symposium on the Theory of Computing (STOC 2013). Here, he will be presenting a poster entited: "Hamiltonian complexity of Trefoil knot transformations." The conference is sponsored by the ACM Special Interest Group on Algorithms and Computation Theory (SIGACT). It will explore original research on the theory of computation. The conference will be held in Palo Alto California, June 1-4.

Omar started UMBC’s Computer Science Ph.D. program in 2010. He is currently pursuing research under the supervision of Dr. Samuel J. Lomonaco Jr. Omar’s doctoral work exlpores adiabatic quantum Hamiltonian complexity, quantum computational simulation of topology and use of quantum optics to understand device independent cryptography. He is currently a Teaching Assistant for CMSC 641: Design and Analysis of Algorithms.

If you have good programming skills and are looking for an interesting alternative to the usual summer internship, you might check out the Google Summer of Code program. It pays student developers $5000 stipends to write code for various open source projects over the summer. Over the past eight years, it has brought together over 6,000 students with over 300 open source projects to create millions of lines of code.

Students who are accepted into the program will put the skills they have learned to good use by working remotely on an actual software project over the summer. Students are paired with mentors to help address technical questions and concerns throughout the course of the project. With the knowledge and hands-on experience students gain during the summer they strengthen their future employment opportunities in fields related to their academic pursuits.

Students should submit applications via the Google Summer of Code 2013 site by May 3. Google says that that the best applications they receive are from students who took the time to interact with one of the participating mentoring organizations and discuss their ideas before submitting an application. About 1,200 students are expected to be funded this year.
