REU Site for Computational Sensing and Medical Robotics (CS&MR)

约翰霍普金斯大学和医院(JHU/H)的这个为期三年的REU现场项目是多学科的，为本科生参与者提供在各种领域进行研究的能力，并发展强大的团队合作技能。在为期十周的暑期课程中，REU的学生将在广泛的工程学科中从事令人兴奋和具有挑战性的研究项目；例如，电气、机械和生物医学、计算机科学和物理。每个参与者都将与新的计算传感和机器人实验室(LCSR)的当前研究项目相匹配，并将成为研究团队的一员，其中包括一名教师导师和一名研究生导师。这些研究项目涉及医学图像配准和融合、图像增强和分割或开发新的机器人设备，以支持手术室的外科医生或帮助残疾患者。为了加强定向研究，还包括许多额外的丰富活动：1)技术交流指导；2)口头陈述技能；3)研究伦理。其他活动包括参观JHU医院和应用物理实验室的其他实验室，有机会在JHU/H微创外科培训中心进行腹腔镜手术，以及参观当地机器人、生物技术和工程公司。学生还将参加社会活动，培养本科生群体内的团队意识。该计划将以一个致力于REU参与者的期末报告的计划为高潮，他们的PI、研究生导师、实验室伙伴和家长都出席了。最佳演讲奖将由LCSR领导层颁发。征集工作将针对来自全国各机构的潜在参与者，重点是女性和代表不足的少数群体，以及来自电气、机械、生物医学、计算机科学、数学和物理等广泛工程学科的参与者。通过从LSAMP、McNair、SWE、SHPE和其他类似项目招聘和合作，该项目将帮助培养一批合格的、多样化的从业者，他们将为STEM领域的劳动力做出贡献，特别是在计算传感、医疗机器人、假肢和计算机集成医疗干预领域遇到的多学科和跨学科学科。

This three-year REU Site program at Johns Hopkins University and Hospital (JHU/H) is multidisciplinary and offers undergraduate participants the ability to conduct research in a variety of fields and develop strong teamwork collaboration skills. During a ten-week summer session REU students will engage in exciting and challenging research projects in a wide range of engineering disciplines; e.g. electrical, mechanical and biomedical, computer science, and physics. Each participant will be matched with a current research project in the new Laboratory for Computational Sensing and Robotics (LCSR) and will be a part of a research team, including a faculty mentor and a graduate student mentor. These research projects relate to medical image registration and fusion, image enhancement and segmentation or the development of new robotic devices to support surgeons in the operating room or to aid patients with disabilities.In order to enhance the directed research, many additional enrichment activities are included: 1) instruction on technical communication; 2) oral presentation skills; and 3) research ethics. Additional activities include tours and trips to other labs at JHU Hospital and the Applied Physics Laboratory, the opportunity to perform laparoscopic procedures at the JHU/H Minimally Invasive Surgical Training Center, and industry tours of local robotics, biotechnology and engineering companies. Students will also participate in social activities to foster team a sense of community within the undergraduate student group. The program will culminate with a program devoted to final presentations from REU participants with their PIs, graduate student mentors, lab mates, and parents all present. An award for the best presentation will be presented by LCSR leadership.Recruitment efforts will be targeted to potential participants from institutions nationwide, with a focus on women and under-represented minorities, and from a wide range of engineering disciplines including electrical, mechanical, biomedical, computer science, mathematics, and physics. By recruiting from and partnering with LSAMP, McNair, SWE, SHPE, and other similar programs, this program will aid in the development of a pipeline of qualified, diverse practitioners who will contribute to the workforce in the area of STEM, particularly in the multi- and inter-disciplinary subjects encountered in the computational sensing, medical robotics, prosthetics, and computer integrated medical intervention areas.
