Meet the 2007 UCSD Summer Undergraduate Scholars
By Maureen C. Curran
San Diego, CA, July 26, 2007 -- In it's seventh year, the UCSD division of Calit2's Summer Undergraduate Research Scholarship program has its largest class ever: 28 students are working with 23 academic advisors from all across the UCSD campus. They are performing real research for ten weeks this summer.
The students represent 15 different majors. While a wide spectrum of engineering and computer science fields is represented, half (14) of the awardees are majoring in other fields, from biochemistry and microbiology to music, visual arts, psychology and political science.
The 2007 scholars are presented here with the title of their project, their year and major, and the name of their advisor. A poster session showcasing their work will be held in September during Welcome Week of the fall quarter; the date will be announced later in the summer.
