Calit2 Summer Scholar Project Posters and Videos Available

San Diego, CA, December 18, 2007 -- The UCSD division of Calit2's 2007 Summer Scholar program was celebrated with a poster session held during UCSD's Fall Quarter Welcome Week. All project posters, as well as short videos of many of the scholars discussing their projects, are now available.

The program supports undergraduate researchers while they do hands-on research with faculty advisors from across campus, for a 10-week period over the summer. The scholars contributed to ongoing research activities, or conducted parallel projects, in a wide range of fields, reflecting the multidisciplinary mission of Calit2.

The posters and presentations give an indication of the wide-ranging, interdisciplinary research that is being conducted at Calit2.

The 2007 scholars are presented here with the title of their project, their year and major (as of last June), the name of their advisor and links to their poster (PDF or powerpoint [PPT] file) and video, if available.

Windows Media Player and a broadband connection required to view videos; more information on viewing Calit2 videos, including other players for Mac and Linux is available [here].
