This Year's Projects

Our REU projects fall under a very wide “systems“ umbrella. In our vision of systems, practice dominates over theory — for other parts of computer science theory is enough, but from a systems standpoint, theory is useless if it doesn't produce tangible results for real-world problems. Even if you don't think that traditional “systems” classes like operating systems, or programming languages, it may be that one of our projects will interest you.

Garbage Collection

If you've enjoyed classes in operating systems or programming languages, there is a very good chance you'll be interested in our project in garbage collection.

Robotics — Aerial Autonomy

Want to work with flying robots? In this project, we will continue our lab's foray into autonomous flight: our goal will be to collect movies of HMC's Libra-complex by conducting fly throughs and build 3D models capable of supporting virtual fly-throughs. We plan to use Andrew Davison's Monocular SLAM work as an inspiration and/or starting point. Check out our project page for details.

Intelligent Music Software

If you have an interests in both computer science and music (particularly Jazz), our intelligent music software project will also interest you.
