Program Overview:
Program Overview:
University of Maryland Baltimore County’s Mobile, Pervasive and Sensor Computing Lab (MPSC Lab) hosts an immersive summer research program in smart computing and communications for promising undergraduate students across the country. The REU research projects will be conducted in three interrelated thrust areas of smart computing and communications: (i) security and privacy protection, (ii) novel applications, and (iii) sensing and adaptive networking. Proposed projects will include a mix of theory and hands-on work and will leverage enabling paradigms (e.g., cloud computing, Internet-of-Things, high-speed wireless) to design, model, and implement novel techniques and solutions for smart computing and communication applications, encompassing algorithms for artificial intelligence, data mining, machine learning, edge analytics, signal processing, and big data. Some projects will also include building functional prototypes for demonstration.

The paid ten-week REU program focuses on increasing technical awareness, intellectual curiosity, creativity, and critical thinking of undergraduate students that prepares them for graduate studies or careers in science, technology, engineering, or math (STEM) disciplines.
Each student will select a research project and will be immersed in an active research group, led by a faculty mentor and a senior-level graduate student, committed to actively guiding undergraduate researchers and providing a high-impact educational experience.
Participants will typically work from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. each day, with one hour for lunch.
Undergraduate researchers are paid $600 along with a $120 meal allowance, per week.
Participants will work remotely from their preferred locations in Summer 2023
